An unwitting passenger arriving at Japan’s Narita airport has received 142g of cannabis after a customs test went awry
A customs officer hid a package of the banned substance in a side pocket of a randomly chosen suitcase in order to test airport security.
Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in.
Anyone finding the package has been asked to contact customs officials.
The customs officer conducted the test on a passenger’s bag against regulations. Normally a training suitcase is used.
“I knew that using passengers’ bags is prohibited, but I did it because I wanted to improve the sniffer dog’s ability,”
Japan has strict laws against drugs and possession of small amounts of cannabis can lead to a prison sentence.
