TOKYO (AFP) - An unsuspecting passenger who flew to Tokyo is carrying one million yen's worth of cannabis compliments of customs authorities after a sniffer dog failed a test, officials said Monday.

An officer at Narita International Airport on Sunday stuffed 142 grams (five ounces) of the drug into the side pocket of a randomly selected black suitcase coming off an overseas flight so that the animal could detect it.

"The dog couldn't find it and the officer also forgot which bag he put it in," a customs office spokeswoman said.

"If by some chance passengers find it in their suitcase, we're asking them to return it," she said.

The 38-year-old officer was quoted by the spokeswoman as saying: "I knew that using passengers' bags is prohibited, but I did it because I wanted to improve the sniffer dog's ability."

He was reprimanded by the head of customs at Narita.

"This case was extremely regrettable. I would like to deeply apologise," said the airport's customs chief Manpei Tanaka.

The cannabis, which has a street value of one million yen (9,680 dollars), was in a metal box wrapped with newspapers.

Japan strictly prohibits both hard and soft drugs, with people imprisoned for possession of even small amounts of cannabis.

He rolled a dube and both he and the dog had no idea what bag it was in after that ... all they knew was they wanted some fucking chips right now!

lol that's is fucked up.. so now what happens if this person gets caught with it at another airport.

I didn't get SHIT when I went to japan....
well I take that back, I got some really cool leg warmers.

but pot would have been just as great.

maybe next time?

wait... 5 ounces is worth $10k???

WHO HAS A PLANE????

Unfortunately he was on his was to Dubai and is currently waiting to be beheaded. :Oh crap

And I thought I paid a lot.

Wonder what happened when that person went thru customs at another airport.

lols...........

Is it just me or does this scream out "the officer is a thief, he stole it for his own personal use"

5 ounces is worth 9k in tokyo ?

I think I may quit adult and start smuggling weed!
5 ounces here is like - maybe - $1k , and that's for good bud!

8k profit per shipment.

Sounds like the officer smoked some of it, lol.

Riiiight... Could it be that the officer knew exactly in which pocket he had dropped the weed ? And will be smoking it big time next week-end, petting his so-called sniffer god ? lol ;)

That's fucked up.

I guess he had to make something up after smoking 5 ounces.

10'000 dollars for 142 grams of weed? Jesus.

Since when does 5 ounces equal 9 grand and some change? Thats insane. Must have been some CHRONIC!!!!

5 ounces is a big side pocket

i think he took it for his own use

:1orglaugh

d'oh!

good point.

Hopefully the person unpacked his/her bag in Tokyo at some point.

Or...

"... in an unrelated story, Snoop Dogg was busted again... this time with 5 ounces of cannabis flying into LAX."

when will he learn ? Its not that the shit is not available anywhere, specially for people like him :disgust

hows about the 'officer' kept the weed...
