ARREST OVER ALLEGED KHAT OFFENCE HOURS AFTER BAN

A man has been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle a drug out of 
Britain less than a day after it was made illegal. The 20-year-old, 
detained during a routine check at the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone 
at 7.40am yesterday, is believed to be the first person in the 
country to be arrested for possession of newly designated class-C 
drug khat, which has amphetamine-like qualities.
