Drug smuggling Easter bunny nabbed
A MIAMI man will appear in a Los Angeles court to face federal charges for carrying a cache of cocaine into Los Angeles International Airport.
Esteban Galtes, 23, was arrested at LAX last Thursday by agents with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after they searched his luggage and found more than six kilos of cocaine, much of it disguised as pastel-colored egg shaped candies, ICE said in a news release.
Galtes was returning to the United States from a one-week trip to Colombia.
The seized cocaine had an estimated street value of $100,000.
"Drug traffickers are always trying novel ways to conceal their contraband," said Claude Arnold, special agent in charge of ICE HSI in Los Angeles.
"But cocaine camouflaged as Easter candy is one of the more unusual tactics we've come across. Obviously two days before Christmas, this defendant didn't expect his trip would end with federal officers conducting an Easter egg hunt."
Galtes is charged with importation of a controlled substance. The charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
