A British man has been arrested in Chile after custom officials claimed to have discovered £200k worth of crystal meth inside his suitcase.
Sources in the South American country have confirmed the man to be William Eastment, from Milborne Port in Somerset.
He had been travelling from Mexico to Chile when, according to Chilean authorities, his suitcase was found to contain more than 5kg (11lbs) of methamphetamine.
In a statement published online, customs officials said they had identified irregularities in one piece of luggage, prompting them to track down the owner.
Rodrigo Díaz, Metropolitan Customs Regional Director, said: "Once the traveller retrieved the suspicious luggage from the airport baggage carousel, it was quickly identified by our officers and moved to the secondary screening area, where the drugs team confirmed the presence of a hidden object."
