Holiday Schemes: Canadian Woman Attempts to Smuggle Meth Wrapped As Christmas Gifts Through the Airport

A Canadian woman’s alleged attempt to smuggle 22 pounds of meth wrapped as Christmas presents through Auckland Airport on Sunday, December 8th, has left many in shock.

The 29-year-old traveler was caught by New Zealand Customs officials upon arriving from Vancouver. The discovery came after customs officers questioned her and searched her red carry-on duffle bag, revealing multiple piles of contraband disguised in bright red, snowflake print holiday gift wrapping paper. According to the New Zealand Customs Service, the seized methamphetamine would have had a street value of up to NZ$3.8 million (about $2.2 million) and posed a significant social harm cost of approximately NZ$10.7 million (around $6.2 million).

The incident has been described as a “classic attempt by transnational organized criminal groups” to exploit the busy holiday season, as stated by Paul Williams, Auckland Airport’s customs manager.

“But a busy airport does not mean Customs is not focused on or paying attention to anyone who may pose a drug risk. The airport teams are made up of vigilant officers who are intently focussed on catching those trying to bring harm to New Zealand,” Williams said.

He emphasized that despite the hustle and bustle of the airport, customs officers remain vigilant, focusing on identifying those who pose a drug risk. Williams noted the agency’s close collaboration with Canadian counterparts, which sometimes helps intercept such drug couriers even before they board flights.
