Officers at Canada’s Pearson Airport have confiscated a total of $850,000 worth of the drug concealed between the covers of — cross yourself — a bible.
This new method of smuggling has been seen in two separate incidents in the country. In both cases the traveling couriers were arriving from the Caribbean. Officers became suspicious by the heavy weight of the books. Apparently, the covers of a Bible are slit open, and the cocaine packets are sealed inside. Ingenious, but evidently not foolproof.
