NEW YORK - A young woman was caught with 50 latex condoms of cocaine stored in her stomach at Boston’s Logan Airport.
Cops said the 21-year-old swallowed nearly a pound of cocaine before boarding a flight from the Dominican Republic and landing in Boston.
They said that New Jersey resident Luisa Gill swallowed 50 condoms packed full of cocaine carrying a street value of approximately 50,000 dollars, then hopped on the JetBlue flight Saturday.
Customs agents at Boston’s Logan Airport questioned Gill after noticing she seemed jittery.
Gill eventually admitted she had ingested the drugs and was taken to a local hospital where doctors retrieved the stash.
Authorities said the situation wasn’t uncommon but the size of the load was shocking.
“That’s a lot of dope,” the New York Daily News quoted former DEA agent Chris Egan as telling Boston’s Fox 25. (ANI)
