Two men caught with 65 pounds of cocaine at airport

TWO MEN have been arrested following a major drug bust at the Lynden Pindling International Airport on Wednesday night.

Police report that shortly after 6pm, two adult males travelling to the United States were detained by United States Customs and Border Patrol officials at the US Pre-Clearance Departure Lounge following the discovery of just over 65 pounds of cocaine in their luggage.

The men were handed over to the police and are expected to appear in court at a later date to be formally charged.

How stupid could you be trying to smuggle that much blow in your luggage?

Thank you for asking the question. First thing came to mind, how dumb are these guys? They figured, hide that much cocaine in a suitcase, tell the Customs inspectors it's talcum powder for their shoes? Was that their master plan? Brilliant.

They'll have plenty time to think up a better plan during their sunny sojourn out at Fox Hill.
