Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Lee Adams (L) was intercepted as he arrived at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Airport Credit: Facebook 6 It's understood Adams, from Yardley, Birmingham, was behaving suspiciously as he got off the flight from London Gatwick Credit: Facebook 6 Adams, who works for a recruitment agency, failed to convince officials of the true nature of his trip Credit: Facebook It's understood Adams, from Yardley, Birmingham, was behaving suspiciously as he got off the flight from London Gatwick on May 24 and caught the eye of customs officers. And when Adams, who works for a recruitment agency, failed to convince officials of the true nature of his trip, officers from the Anti-Drug and Smuggling Unit (ADSU) swooped. The officers found 5.75 kilos of cannabis with a street value of £110,000 concealed within his suitcase. According to local news reports Adams, who was confronted with the evidence during an interrogation, admitted his role and was arrested on the spot. Investigators immediately launched a "controlled delivery" operation on the holiday island and two suspected accomplices, both believed to be British, were also arrested. The trio appeared before Mahébourg District Court on drug trafficking charges on May 26. An investigation has been launched and they currently remain in custody. Married Adams had told family and friends back in the UK that he had taken a job doing demolition and security work on Mauritius. But when he failed to make contact with his wife Rebecca he was reported missing in a frantic Facebook post. A source said: 'He knew a friend in Mauritius, with a company paying £4000 a week, he said he couldn't pass it up. I'm one half of the infamous Peru 2 drug mules - this is my warning to Brit tourists & how gangs know EXACTLY who to target 'But then no one heard from him, not even his wife. Rebecca messaged his work pals to see if they'd heard from him and an appeal went out on Facebook. 'It was only then she discovered he'd been arrested when she saw a local news report online.' It's alleged Lee didn't buy his own plane ticket and a source claims another man recruited him for the trip. A Foreign Office spokesperson said: 'We are supporting a number of British nationals detained in Mauritius and are in contact with the local authorities.' The arrest comes amid a spate of similar drug mule cases - with around 13 Brits currently kept in hellhole jails abroad. Three Brits are facing the death penalty in Bali accused of trafficking more than £300,000 worth of cocaine onto the island. A Brit couple were charged with smuggling £1million of cannabis from Thailand a mere few days ago. While several young women have been arrested trying to smuggle cannabis from Thailand. 6 Brit woman Isabella Daggett was arrested just weeks after relocating to Dubai 6 Brit student Bella May Culley was arrested in Georgia after allegedly carrying drugs into the country from Thailand 6 Brit Charlotte May Lee was arrested in Sri Lanka after allegedly trying to smuggle in drugs In the last couple of months, glam tourist Bella Culley allegedly tried to smuggle a suitcase of weed into Georgia and was locked away in a brutal ex-Soviet prison despite claiming to be pregnant. And former air stewardess Charlotte May Lee was then caught allegedly trying to smuggle drugs worth £1.2million into Sri Lanka. Young mum, Cameron Bradford, 21, from Knebworth, Herts, was detained at Munich Airport on April 21 as she tried to collect her luggage. Separately, two drug-smuggling pals were caught with 35kg of cannabis at the airport after a "shopping trip" to New York. And Isabella Daggett, 21, was arrested just five weeks after she relocated to Dubai from Yorkshire after landing a new job. The Brit woman is rotting inside Dubai's hellhole prison on alleged drug charges fell in with "wrong people at the wrong time", her family has said. Glamorous Sophie Bannister and Levi-April Whalley landed back on UK soil with their suitcases seemingly packed full of shopping. The pair, both 30, were stopped at Birmingham International Airport with more than 35kg of cannabis in their bags. Bannister, now of Cotton Lane, Manchester, was sentenced to 20 months suspended for 18 months, with 30 days rehabilitation activities and 200 hours of unpaid work. Whalley, of Livesey Branch Road, Blackburn, was handed a 16-month sentence suspended for 18 months, with 10 days rehabilitation and 80 hours of unpaid work.
