"Australian police" arrested 26-year-old "Thai girl Air," tucked more than 1 kg of heroin, tucked into 12 cloth pockets, into "Melbourne" last week.

According to the Australian National Police website, the accused is a 26-year-old Thai woman on duty on an international flight arriving at Melbourne Airport on June 25, 2026, before being checked by an Australian Border Force (ABF) officer.

According to an tomography check, ABF officials found something unusual inside 12 fabric bags of the woman. When examined thoroughly, white powder was found hidden along the lining of the bag, which initial tests confirmed was "heroin" worth about AU $500,000 (about $11 million).

The ABF officer then referred the matter to the AFP police to take over the medium and arrest the woman. She was charged with two counts of importing a commercial quantity of border control drugs and possession of a commercial quantity of border control drugs, each punishable by up to 25 years in prison.

The accused has been deported since 26 June and is due to appear in Melbourne District Court again, on 14 September 2026.

Simone Butcher, acting police commissioner, AFP, emphasized that the police have non-compromise measures against individuals who use their positions of trust to benefit illegal activities.

"We will move forward to purge individuals who use social status or work to support drug trafficking relentlessly and will coordinate closely with partner agencies to protect communities from drug threats."

According to ABF Commander Clint Sims, the crime movement often uses "insiders," such as flight attendants, to smuggle illegal items into Australia, which he reminds: "No matter what rank or rank you have, if you try to break the law, you will face the ultimate penalty. We will use both intelligence and advanced technology to continue to monitor and maintain strict border security."
