Investigators probe drug ring existence at CJIA

May 25, 2014 News

Investigators probing how almost five pounds of cocaine ended up being secreted in a Caribbean Airlines flight on Friday believe that a well planned conspiracy was involved. Some 2.2 kilograms of cocaine was found on BW 606 aircraft.
The Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) announced yesterday that there is strong evidence to suggest that staffers from more than one agency were working in collusion to facilitate this illegal activity.
“Several leads are being pursued and charges are expected to be laid shortly,” CJIA said yesterday.
The aircraft had touched down at Cheddi Jagan International Airport at 12:11hrs from Trinidad to pick up passengers en route to Toronto, Canada.
After all bags were off loaded from the aft hold, airline security conducted a sweep in keeping with Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). It was during this exercise that two packages of the illegal substance were discovered.
The police were immediately summoned to check the packages.
