A passenger admitted he had ‘some things that I shouldn’t have’ before being exposed as a drug mule. Dad-of-three Arshad Hussain had flown out to Thailand and tried to smuggle cannabis into the UK when he returned. But when he was stopped by Border Force officers at Manchester Airport , he admitted: “I’ve got some things that I shouldn’t have.” Hussain, 50, had two suitcases stuffed with vacuum sealed packages containing about 40 kilos of the class B drug.
