Policemen on Friday nabbed a Nigerian, Henry North, from Vyapar Kendra at Sushant Lok and Bihar-resident Raghvendra Jha from IFFCO Chowk. They were trying to courier 780gm of smack to Spain. Three cell phones were found on them. The men are educated and have their smuggling network spread over 18 countries, including the US, Spain and the UK.

Henry and Jha met as strangers at a Metro station where they became friendly.
