JAMAICAN WOMAN ATTEMPTS TO SMUGGLE COCAINE IN BRA, ARRESTED AT FORT LAUDERDALE AIRPORT!

 

 FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (CMC) – A Jamaican woman was arrested at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport for concealing 2.7 pounds of cocaine in her brassiere.–

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency says officers from its Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the airport found a white, powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine inside the unidentified woman’s bra “after noticing abnormalities during an inspection.”

The cocaine was seized and turned over to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

“This is another excellent example of our CBP officers’ expertise in preventing dangerous drugs from entering the United States,” said Fort Lauderdale International Airport Port Director Jorge Roig. “CBP officers demonstrate vigilance, integrity and professionalism on a daily basis.”

The OFO is the primary organization within the US Department of Homeland Security that is “tasked with an anti-terrorism mission at our nation’s ports.

CBP officers screen all people, vehicles and goods entering the United States, while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and travel,” the agency said, adding that “their mission also includes carrying out border-related duties, including narcotics interdiction, enforcing immigration and trade laws, and protecting the nation’s food supply and agriculture industry from pests and diseases.”
