ACCORDING to reliable sources, a British national was arrested with a quantity of cocaine in milk tins shortly before he was about to board a flight to New York on Friday last.

The 29-year-old was thereafter taken into custody after agents of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) affirmed that they discovered the narcotic in several five-pound milk tins.

The accused was on a Travel Span flight due to leave at about 16.00hrs, and CANU agents said the tins were in his checked-in luggage.

The Briton’s arrest marked the second such cocaine bust at the CJIA for the day in question.
The first incident reportedly involved an American male who was allegedly caught with more than seven kilogrammes of cocaine in packets of milk. At the time, he was an outgoing passenger to the United States (USA).
