PHNOM PENH, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- A Venezuelan woman has been arrested at a Cambodian airport for smuggling about 1 kg of cocaine into the country, the Cambodian National Police's website reported on Monday.

 

Flores Gonzalez Yosbeilys Katerine, 27, was arrested at the Siem Reap International Airport in northwest Cambodia's Siem Reap province on Saturday, the website said, citing Police Colonel In Song, head of an anti-drug team at the Interior Ministry's Anti-Drug Department.

 

"The suspect swallowed the drug (hiding drug in her stomach) and travelled on a flight from Brazil via Dubai and Bangkok to Cambodia," the website quoted In Song as saying.

 

He added that 104 small packages containing cocaine, which weighed about 1 kg, were confiscated from the woman.

The Southeast Asian country has no death sentence for drug traffickers. Under its law, a person trafficking more than 80 grams of illicit drug will be jailed for life.

 

The country had arrested 9,694 drug-related suspects with more than 120 kg of illicit drugs during the first six months of 2017, according to the National Authority for Combating Drugs.
