In a statement issued last night by Portuguese Immigration Office SEF, it revealed that the cocaine was found in shampoo containers in the couple’s luggage.


SEF explained that a woman, aged 29 and a man who is 32, were arrested on Sunday evening and placed in the custody of PJ Police in Faro.


The British pair is expected to be heard at Faro Court later Tuesday as it was shut due to the Monday bank holiday.


Officials have as yet not released their names, but according to reports in the Mirror, the couple were arrested after authorities in Portugal received a tip-off from their British counterparts.
