The drugs were found in suitcases belonging to a 51-year-old British citizen who had flown in from Qatar, state news agency PAP reported.

The man was detained and faces a prison sentence of three to 15 years, according to the news agency.

The drugs were seized last month but the news was not announced until Thursday.
