At Frankfurt Airport, two sniffer dogs have the right nose.
They sniff out hidden drugs on a grand scale.
Frankfurt – Frankfurt Airport is not only a huge hub for people, but also for goods.
Not everything that is transported via the airport complies with the rules and laws.
Two sniffer dogs finally had the right nose for the flight.
A blue cloth roll suitcase from passengers from Rio de Janeiro aroused the interest of dog Harro at Frankfurt Airport, according to the federal police.
And lo and behold: during the X-ray check, the officials found a thickening of the back wall.
Meanwhile, the dog Ivan also struck while sniffing the rows of suitcases, reports fnp.de.
