Briton held for marijuana in shoes

Kuwaiti police arrested a Briton after he was caught trying to smuggle drugs into the oil-rich Gulf emirate, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The unidentified man was arrested at the airport in the capital Kuwait City after customs men searching him found three bags of marijuana hidden inside his shoes.

The Arabic language daily ‘Al Watan’, quoting security sources, said the passenger had just arrived from Amsterdam.
