Fifteen cabin and flight crew staff have been arrested after 110 pounds of cannabis was found on a flight from Johannesburg to Heathrow Airport.



Customs officials say the haul, worth about 150,000 pounds, was seized from a South African Airways plane.



Officers from the UK Border Agency found the drugs in three bags after the plane landed in London.



A customs spokesman said those being held in custody would be interviewed by investigating officers.
