Malaysian caught with Ecstasy pills

MEDAN, North Sumatra: A Malaysian man has been caught trying
to smuggle into Indonesia 5,000 Ecstasy pills hidden in a video
camera, Antara said on Wednesday.

Colonel Wenny Warou, head of North Sumatra's police
detectives, was quoted as saying the man was caught by customs
officers on Tuesday morning at the Polonia airport after arriving
on a Malaysian Airlines System flight.

Warou said his camera, when X-rayed, was found to have the
pills inside.

He said the suspect, who was not identified by name, told
police he had carried the drug at the request of a Medan man who
had promised to meet him at the airport.

Indonesia has had several high-profile Ecstasy arrests in
recent months as the drug has become popular among the country's
elite.
