Two persons are now in custody after Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) officers on Friday discovered cocaine hidden in two bowls of curry in the luggage of a New York-bound man at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).

CANU, in a brief statement, said the man was due to travel on Jet Blue Airways Flight B61966, destined for JFK, when a search of his suitcase was conducted in his presence, leading to the discovery of the suspected cocaine hidden in two bowls with curry.
