CBP catches woman smuggling cocaine in bra

Published September 2, 2015 4:50pm ET



U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) last month detained a Jamaican woman in Florida for attempting to smuggle almost three pounds of powder cocaine in her bra.

Officials noticed “abnormalities” during a routine inspection of the woman, and later found a white, powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine. “A total of 2.7 pounds of cocaine was seized and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),” CBP said in a statement Wednesday.
