Goa: British Man Held Over Record Drugs Haul

A British man has been arrested in the holiday resort state of Goa in what the Indian authorities have said is their biggest ever drugs seizure.

Gary Baird, 45, was arrested on Wednesday accused of illegally possessing more than four kilos of amphetamines with a street value of $330,000 (£204,300), police superintendent Karthik Kashyap said.

"The accused had come to deliver the narcotics to a customer," the police officer said, adding that the Briton, who was staying in a hotel, had visited Goa several times in recent years.

Baird was held during the raid in Aguada village, 10km (six miles) from the state capital Panaji.

Goa has been a popular destination for foreigners since the days of the hippie trail in the 1960s.

But the availability of illegal drugs and aggressive dealing around its beaches has long caused concern for authorities.

Superintendent Kashyap said amphetamines were a relatively new phenomenon in the state.

"This is the biggest seizure in the history of drug seizures by the Goa police," he said.

He added that more people are expected to be arrested.
