RICHMOND (NEWS1130) – A man is being accused of swallowing more than 40 condoms packed with liquid cocaine before he tried to get on a plane to Sydney, Australia.
Stefani Wudel with Canada Border Services Agency says he was pulled aside for questioning at Vancouver International Airport after a routine check last month.
“Throughout the initial interview, the officers noticed inconsistencies in the traveller’s statements and referred him for a more thorough examination,” Wudel says. “Upon further examination, officers determined that the traveller may have ingested a large amount of narcotics.”
They took him to a hospital and kept him under a doctor’s supervision until the evidence passed through his system.
“Border services officers seized a total of 42 suspected liquid cocaine-filled condoms, with a total weight of 1.26 kilograms,” Wudel says.
Wudel won’t comment on the man’s health.
He has now been handed over to the RCMP.
