Australian police arrest a Thai aircrew member at Melbourne Airport after suspected heroin is allegedly found concealed in her belongings. Multiple outlets report that Australian Border Force officers screen the traveller using an x-ray at the airport and, following the discovery, police detain the woman on an international flight. The alleged amount is reported as more than one kilogram of heroin, with some sources citing about one kilogram specifically. One outlet also reports the heroin’s value in local terms (about B11 million). Euronews additionally reports a euro-equivalent figure of roughly €302,000. The woman is described as a crew member or air hostess/flight attendant connected with Thai Airways. Thai Airways says it will cooperate fully with Australian authorities. The reports agree on the core events—screening, the alleged discovery of heroin in tote bags, arrest in Melbourne, and Thai Airways’ cooperation—while details such as exact age or the valuation figure vary by source.
