A 16-year-old and a 17-year-old from Osaka Prefecture were arrested at Fukuoka Airport on 30 August 2025 for smuggling liquid containing the cannabis compound THC from Thailand.[1][2] Customs officers found about 14 kg of the liquid, around 7 kg in each boy’s suitcase, hidden inside retort curry boxes during an inspection.[1][2]

The pair had travelled together to Thailand two days earlier and returned separately via Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport.[2] Both admitted transporting the drugs for compensation.[1][2] Moji Customs confirmed the haul was the largest seizure of cannabis liquid in its jurisdiction.[1]
