Be careful about what's in your beef patties
When US Customs and Border Protection officers had a closer look at the box of Tastee Brand Jamaican Beef Patties that a Jamaican traveller was carrying when she arrived at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport a couple of days ago, they didn’t find any beef patties. Instead they uncovered nearly $70,000 of cocaine in Chantal Bedward’s suitcase.
Although innocent unless and until proven guilty, Ms Bedward now faces federal narcotics smuggling charges and will be prosecuted by the US Attorney’s Office in the US Eastern District Court of New York.
So, if you intend travelling with some beef patties, try to ensure that they really are beef patties not a dozen duct-taped packages containing a white powder that tests positive for cocaine.
