Another Guyanese woman has been nabbed at the JFK International Airport during an attempt to smuggle cocaine into the United States.

Melissa Cox was held last Thursday with two Fernleaf milk tins and two flour bags, all of which contained cocaine that amounted to 13.02 kilogrammes.

According to criminal complaint filed against Cox, she arrived at the airport from Guyana on Caribbean Airlines flight BW 524 when she was approached by a Customs Border Protection officer, who asked whether two suitcases in her possessions belonged to her.

She indicated that they did and when the suitcases were searched they were found to contain, among other things, two milk tins and two bags labelled Chappati flour. The tins and bags were examined and they were found to contain cocaine.

Cox waived her Miranda rights and agreed to be interviewed, during which she revealed that she knew that her suitcases contained cocaine and that she expected to be paid in exchange for transporting the drugs by another individual, whom she expected to meet in the US.

She has since appeared before Magistrate Judge Roanne L. Mann and was remanded into custody.

She is the third woman in the last week to be held at the JFK airport attempting to smuggle drugs. Tricia Ann D’Aguiar was nabbed on November 21st with 6.053 grammes of cocaine while on November 22nd Fredericka Latrice Coats, who is also known as β€˜X Ali Aminah’ and Novia Gray, was nabbed with 2.485 grammes of cocaine concealed in hardcover books.

Another Guyanese, Wilton Sinclair, was caught at the same airport on November 18th attempting to smuggle 8.206 kilogrammes of cocaine hidden in four bottles of RUM.

JAMAICA, N.Y. (PIX11) β€” A man is facing charges after officials with U.S. Customs say he smuggled liquid cocaine inside bottles of rum on a flight from Guyana to New York, according to a press release.

Wilton Sinclair arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Nov. 17 off a flight from Georgetown, Guyana and presented his luggage for inspection.

CBP officers discovered four bottles of rum inside one of the bags, but noticed that the liquid appeared thicker than usual. The bottles were opened and officers detected an unusual chemical odor.

The liquid tested positive for cocaine, according to the release.

Sinclair, a citizen of the United States, was arrested for the importation of a controlled substance and was turned over to Homeland Security Investigations.

The total weight of cocaine found in the two bottles seized was approximately 18 pounds with an approximate street value of $310,000.

β€œCocaine is a dangerous narcotic, and CBP does its part in keeping these drugs off the streets.” said Robert E. Perez, Director of CBP’s New York Field Operations. β€œOur officers are determined to protect the American people from these illicit substances.”

Sinclair faces federal narcotics smuggling charges and will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the U.S. Eastern District Court of New York.
