A woman arriving in Ireland on a flight from Canada was arrested Sunday after customs officers at Dublin Airport found her luggage was stuffed with more than $1.5 million worth of crystal meth and cannabis, Irish officials said.
Officers then uncovered a haul of suspected cannabis weighing approximately 29 kilograms and suspected crystal meth weighing six kilograms, all in sealed plastic inside the luggage.

Police also refused to say whether the arrested woman was a Canadian or if she was someone from Ireland returning from a visit to Canada.
The age of the woman arrested suggests smugglers are looking to use travellers outside their usual profile to help avoid scrutiny.
