Danish police have arrested two employees of Copenhagen airport after seizing 20.5 kilograms (45 pounds) of heroin, they said in a statement Friday. The drug was found on Wednesday hidden in a bag that had arrived from Pakistan.
“This is a huge haul with a street value of at least 25 million kroner (3.4 million euros, 4.5 million dollars), police inspector Knud Hvass said in the statement.
Four people were arrested in total — two of them 38-year-old airport staff who were detained on the airport premises.
A third man, also 38, was arrested at his home and a 44-year-old Pakistani national was arrested Thursday in Spain in cooperation with Spanish police.
The statement said he could be extradited to Denmark.
