Jamaicans nabbed with cocaine at US airport
Two Jamaicans have been arrested for attempting to smuggle more than six pounds of cocaine into the United States.
The illegal drug has a street value of US$90 thousand.
According to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Jamaicans were arrested two days apart when they arrived at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in North Carolina.
In the first incident, an unidentified 26-year old Jamaican arrived on a flight from Montego Bay.
During an inspection of his luggage, officers discovered a white powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine.
Last week, CBP said law enforcement officials encountered a 37-year old Jamaican who also arrived from Montego Bay with cocaine in his luggage.
CBP spokesman Barry Chastain says the Jamaicans were arrested for the importation of a controlled substance.
They were turned over to Homeland Security Investigations and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
