A Jamaican woman who had what was supposed to be a box of beef patties was found to be carrying something else when she arrived at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. Chantal Bedward was arrested after US Customs and Border Protection officers found US$70,000 worth of cocaine in a Tastee Jamaican Beef Patties box in her suitcase. Bedward was arrested for the importation of a controlled substance and now faces federal narcotics smuggling charges.
