POT FOUND AMID SEASONINGS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - U.S. Customs agents in Florida seized 4,181 pounds
of marijuana from an aromatic cargo shipment labeled "seasonings,"
investigators said Friday.
The bundles of marijuana were nestled amid boxes of curry powder, garlic and
other pungent seasonings in an apparent attempt to disguise the aroma,
officials said.
The shipment arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport
aboard an Amerijet International cargo flight from Kingston, Jamaica, on
Sept. 23 and was trucked to a warehouse.
Customs agents secretly monitored the shipment, hoping to arrest whoever
showed up to claim it, but no one appeared.
