A crew member aboard an Air Jamaica flight bound for Philadelphia discovered nine pounds of cocaine and marijuana hidden in the aircraft’s galley, officials said.
The stash was found Sunday on a flight that originated in Kingston before landing about 9:30 p.m. at Philadelphia International Airport.
Five pounds of cocaine and four-and-a-half pounds of marijuana, wrapped tightly in brown tape and divided into eight packages, were concealed inside a catering cart, said Steve Sapp, spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The drugs, worth about $44,000, were seized by federal agents and will be destroyed, Sapp said. Agents have made no arrests.
