U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the drugs were 'in a technical space of a passenger airplane.'
According to the agency, the cocaine was “hidden in the technical space of a passenger airplane” that had arrived from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.According to a news release, officers found “16 brick-shaped objects concealed under a blanket in an avionics technical space. Officers extracted the bricks and took them to CBP’s inspection station after they completed the aircraft inspection.
Officers probed each of the bricks and discovered a white, powdery substance that field-tested positive for the properties of cocaine hydrochloride.”“Drug trafficking organizations work very hard to smuggle their dangerous drugs to the United States and Customs and Border Protection officers must be equally on point to intercept this community poison,” said Joseph Martella, Area Port Director for CBP’s Area Port of Philadelphia.
During the three days leading up to the discovery, the aircraft made passenger service stops at domestic airports in New York City, Miami, San Diego and Philadelphia before arriving from Santo Domingo, the agency said. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it is confiscates an average of 4,732 pounds of dangerous drugs every day at U.S. ports of entry.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered more than 41 pounds of cocaine in the avionics space of a flight that arrived at Philadelphia International Airport from the Dominican Republic on August 12, 2022. The cocaine has a street value of about $1.3 million.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
