International Airport, while performing duties at the baggage shed area intercepted two (2) males, who were observed retrieving four (4) duffle bags over the CJIA’s fence from an unknown male. A search of the said duffle bags led to the discovery of sixty four (64) brick-like parcels suspected to be cocaine.
