The details of the bust are sketchy but this newspaper was told that sometime during the early afternoon, ranks of the Police Narcotics Branch discovered cocaine stashed in their suitcases. A police release yesterday said that a total of 10 kilograms, 503 grams of cocaine were found concealed in the false walls of their suitcases.
The duo was scheduled to leave on a Caribbean Airlines flight bound for Canada.
They are scheduled to make their first court appearance today.
