Airline passengers caught with 10 kilos of cocaine in pants.

Customs and Border Protection officers at New York's JFK airport said they captured two more passengers who attempted to smuggle drugs by strapping packages of cocaine to their legs.
The most recent seizure came when two men tried to bring more than 10 kilos of cocaine into the United States on April 19, officers said. Both men allegedly had the drugs taped to their legs under their clothing, and one man taped the drugs to his back.
The two men traveled on the same flight from the Dominican Republic to New York last week, but it's unclear if they knew each other.


The seized cocaine found on the two men held an estimated $400,000 street value.

"This latest seizure demonstrates our CBP officers being ever vigilant in protecting the United States from the distribution of these illicit drugs," Leon Hayward, acting director of CBP's New York field operations, stated in a news release.
In the statement, it was not mentioned what tipped off the officers to conduct additional inspections on the men. But they were taken to a private search room where officers seized 23 pounds (10.4 kilos) of cocaine estimated at a nearly $400,000 street value.
The two men were arrested and are facing federal narcotics smuggling charges, according to the CBP.
Last month at the same airport, officers said they discovered two other passengers on separate days with drugs taped under their pants.
Those seizures equaled to 6.8 kilos (15 pounds) of cocaine.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Well I spose that's easier than stuffing it up your ***.

Damn!

What a waste.

Nutsack scented cocaine....

I am against drugs in general... but I am really.. really.. against drugs that smell like some guys crotch after he was sitting on a plane from some sweltering country all day... that's for sure.

Drugs are a big industry all over the place.. The big Cartel/Big masses are making a lot of money out this business..Kinda sad situation for many broken unaware people. The repercussions are cruel and that's a fact in the world we live in.

What is interesting about this is that they tried to get thru Kennedy Airport with this. Kennedy is loaded with drug detecting equipment and there are drug sniffing dogs all over the place.

If I were to try this, I wouldn't have tried Kennedy Airport.

Most likely these two guy don't know anything about where the drugs originated or even names. The drug lords strap these mules up and give them a plane ticket and money. If they get caught, then they can't tell much to the cops.

Many times these mules are poor people and the chance to make a few 1,000 dollars is a big deal to them.

Unfortunately for them, they will now be looking at a very long prison time.

Don't worry, be happy.

They were probably high, on that marywanna stuff.

I read that they got caught because there were 30 people with straws following them.
