Four pounds of cocaine found in Choco Panda drinks

Customs officials seized nearly 4 pounds of cocaine inside chocolate drink boxes and a spice bottle at Washington Dulles International Airport.

Esteban Gustavo Ischiu Rojas, 44, and Jose Victor Munoz Lemus, 42, both form Guatemala, arrived from a flight from San Salvador on Saturday night.

Officials said they searched the men’s luggage and found four Choco Panda boxes and a garlic salt bottle containing $120,000 worth of cocaine.

The men were turned over to the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority police for prosecution on drug charges. An immigration detainer was also placed on the men.
