SAA crew arrested in London

JOHANNESBURG: Twelve crew members of a South African Airways (SAA) plane arrested with a drugs haul at London’s Heathrow airport are being questioned by security officials after returning home, the airline said Wednesday.

“The crew members are being interviewed by the SAPS (South African Police Service) and SAA’s security division. The three cockpit crew members will return from London later in the week,” it said in a statement.

Customs officials arrested the 15-member SAA crew on Monday after seizing cocaine worth 250,000 pounds (354,307 dollars, 280,755 euros) on a flight from Johannesburg in a second drugs seizure in less than a month. They were released on bail and will be required to appear back in London on April 6, officials of the airline said.
