FIFTEEN South African Airways employees have been arrested after five kilos of cocaine were found in a bag, the second such incident in less than a month. The crew members were arrested after UK Border Agency officers discovered the drugs at Heathrow Airport.

A 15-member flight crew from the same airline were detained after cocaine and cannabis were found in bags in January.

They were released and are due to report to investigators on March 23.

An HM Revenue and Customs spokesman told the UK's Sky News that it was “very, very unusual” for two separate crews to be arrested in similar circumstances so close to each other in date.

“We were surprised to find another (haul)”, the spokesman said.

South African Airways were unavailable for immediate comment.
