Heroin and ecstasy found by Customs

Officers at Sydney Airport have stopped two men from allegedly importing ecstasy and heroin into Australia.

Australian Customs and Border Protection Service officers seized about half a kilogram of MDMA hidden in bottles of bath salts and baby powder.

It was allegedly found on a 45-year-old British man during a baggage examination from his flight from Hong Kong on Wednesday.

In a separate incident, a 38-year-old Canadian man travelling from Dubai was stopped when officers noticed the man's suitcase was unusually heavy.

An X-ray revealed several kilograms of white powder concealed in a suitcase, with tests allegedly indicating the substance to be heroin.

Both men have been referred to the Australian Federal Police.
