South African air crew in drugs bust

Per The Daily Mail, the entire crew from a South African Airways plane has been arrested at London's Heathrow airport. The crew are accused of smuggling in £250,000 (US$356,350) of cocaine on board their flight. Unfortunately, this is the second drugs-related incident to happen in London with South African Airways in the past few weeks.
