A woman was arrested last week in New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport after customs officers discovered nearly half a million dollars worth of cocaine in her wheelchair.
When they X-rayed the chair, they found an"anomaly" in all four, and soon discovered 28 pounds of cocaine hidden within them – an amount with a street value of $450,000, officials said. This amount would translate to roughly 75,000 100 to 200-milligram doses, authorities said, and about 6,000 lethal doses.
"CBP stands steadfast and determined in working with our partners to identify the trans-national criminal networks responsible for importing these deadly drugs into our neighborhoods," Francis J. Russo, director of CBP's New York field operations, said in a. "CBP's mission is to guard the borders and ports of entry 24/7, 365 days a year to prevent these dangerous drugs from potentially killing our family, friends, and neighbors.
