The parcel, on a transit flight to Europe, was seized by customs inspectors at the Dubai Cargo Village Tuesday, after they noticed some lumpiness in it. A dog squad was brought in, which found four plastic bag-wrapped pieces of the narcotic.

The owner of the cargo has been arrested and charged with narcotics possession and trafficking.
