KINGSTON, Jamaica β€” Jamaican authorities have seized 24 pounds of cocaine concealed inside the shell of an X-Box.

The Jamaica Customs Department says that the cocaine was discovered at Kingston’s airport shortly after a Guyanese traveler cleared customs with a laptop and a suitcase.

 

The man returned to the baggage area, claiming he left a third item. Officials say customs officers scanned and searched the Xbox in his bag and found the cocaine.

The Department said Tuesday the man acknowledged he was paid $5 million to transport the drugs.

Last month, authorities at Guyana’s main airport revoked security passes for a dozen employees following a rise in cocaine-stuffed suitcases intercepted on flights to New York.

An Idiot Was Paid $5 Million to Smuggle Cocaine Inside an Xbox

It was only a month ago we heard of a guy who tried, and failed, to hide a few bricks of coke inside an Xbox. Guyanese drug smugglers obviously don't keep up with the news.

Border authorities in Jamaica have arrested a man who, after initially clearing customs with two items of luggage, tried to re-enter and grab a third. This aroused suspicions, so the third package was checked, and inside they found an "X-Box". Inside that was 24 pounds of cocaine.

The man, who was only identified as a "Guyanese traveler", admitted to smuggling the drugs in return for $5 million.

The report wasn't clear whether it was an Xbox 360 or an original Xbox. I'm actually leaning towards the latter, if only because it was so damn big you could cram more drugs inside.
