An Indian family of three have been caught serving as drug mules, smuggling
3.7 kilograms of heroin into Taiwan, investigators said Tuesday.
The investigators said a Taiwanese man surnamed Tsai, the alleged mastermind of a drug trafficking ring who has resided in Thailand for many years, scouted the Indian man, aged around 70 and identified by police only as “Kenneth,” and his wife and daughter. He convinced them to carry the heroin from Thailand to Taiwan, believing that as it was Mother’s Day in Taiwan, the security officials would have lowered their guard.
Investigators nabbed the family and another Taiwanese man surnamed Su, who came to the family’s hotel to pick up of the drugs Sunday. They also tracked down Tsai. [FULL STORY]
