Contraband being shipped from Jamaica to England
CINCINNATI, USA — Customs officials here say they seized more than 50 pounds of marijuana from inside a tombstone being shipped from Jamaica to England through Cincinnati.
The officers made the discovery with help from a narcotics detection dog at the Cincinnati DHL Express hub at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport yesterday.
Officers questioned last week why someone would ship a tombstone from Kingston, Jamaica, to London. An X-ray machine revealed packages of the drug in a metal box, wrapped in metal mesh and hidden inside the hollowed-out concrete marker.
The stone bears the name of 35-year-old Delroy Senior. Part of its inscription reads,”your place no one can fill.”
Authorities estimate the street value of the drug at about $52,000. They have no suspects.
