Cancun, Q.R. — Elements of the National Guard at the Cancun International Airport arrested one male after he was found transporting coca leaves and flour. The discovery was made by the National Customs Agency of Mexico during a routine inspection.
While processing his hand luggage through an x-ray machine, Customs agents noticed irregular shaped packages. A physical inspection revealed 21 packages of coca leaf and flour, substances known to be used for the processing of cocaine.
