Two women from Christchurch, New Zealand, have been remanded in custody after they were caught with cannabis at Queenstown Airport.u00a0


Acting Sergeant Steve Watt, of Queenstown, said a 52-year-old woman was caught after repeatedly setting off a metal detector on her way through security, Stuff.co.nz reported.


He said she had stuffed about 50g of the drug into 28 individually foil-wrapped cannabis bullets inside her bra.


Police subsequently spoke to the woman's 44-year-old friend, who was wearing tight-fitting clothing, and found that she had concealed about 40g of cannabis about her trunk.

Both women had visited Riversdale before trying to board the flight to Christchurch, and are now facing drug charges in the Queenstown District Court.
