The national carrier, Air Jamaica, is facing problems once again as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Philadelphia International Airport found a little over nine pounds of cocaine and marijuana in eight packages aboard a flight on Sunday.  The officers were alerted after a crew member spotted some suspicious packages. 

The cocaine has a street value of just over US$40,000.  The marijuana was estimated to be valued at just over $4,000.  The packages were wrapped tightly in brown tape and hidden in a drawer of a food cart.  CBP officers boarded the airplane and seized the narcotics.

The flight, which originated in Kingston, Jamaica, stopped in Montego Bay, Jamaica, before terminating in Philadelphia about 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

 "I applaud the Air Jamaica crew for reporting these suspicious packages to CBP officers. It is good citizenry such as this that helps law enforcement stifle the bad guys' attempts to hurt good people," said Allan Martocci, CBP Area Port Director for the Port of Philadelphia.

No arrests were made.
