The man had swallowed 90 capsules of drugs with a street value of around PLN 600,000 (EUR 13,700), authorities said.
Customs officials had suspected that the 36-year-old man was trying to smuggle drugs into the country and subjected him to testing, which resulted in the plastic-wrapped drugs being found in his stomach.
“Later it turned out that there were ninety [capsules]. Experts from the Forensic Laboratory of the Regional Police Headquarters in Radom determined that we were dealing with 1.5 kg of heroin and cocaine,” a police spokeswoman told the PAP news agency.
