According to Detik Bali, a crackdown by the Indonesian National Narcotics Agency (BNN) saw a Malaysian getting arrested by police at the I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport on Thursday (Sept 14).
Upon his arrest, the suspect, who hails from Johor and is simply known by his initials ABZ, was found to have meth inside his stomach.
It turned out that he actually inserted the meth, which was wrapped in condoms, right through his rectum and stored it inside his stomach.
Officers later weighed the meth and found it to have a weight of 205.5 grams gross, or 172.18 grams net.
