Hot stuff in cooler cups from Jamaica
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Cincinnati, Ohio, in New York City and in Philadelphia intercepted four shipments of cocaine from Jamaica that concealed cocaine inside the insulated walls of four thermos cups.
Each shipment consisted of four souvenir insulated thermos cups that were packed with tea bags, bagged spices or vaporising ointment. Officers found that each insulated cup was unusually heavy. Each shipment contained approximately 250-260 g of cocaine for a total weight of more than 1 kg. The cocaine had an approximate street value of about USD 70,000. (cj)
