A woman was arrested on Thursday after officers at the Kipi Border Station in northeastern Greece found more than 9 kilograms of heroin hidden in her personal belongings.

The drugs were divided in 34 nylon packages and hidden in striped pillowcases in a suitcase placed in the trunk of a taxi, with which she attempted to enter from Turkey.
