CBP Finds Heroin in Miami Flower Shipment from Colombia

CBP officers at Miami International Airport seized 0.25 Kg of Heroin found in a cargo of flowers, the agency said. The seizure took place during a routine examination of cargo coming from Bogota, Colombia, during which CBP officers saw a cylinder shaped object hidden among carnations. A closer examination of the cylinder by CBP officers revealed the presence of a brown powdering substance which later tested positive for Heroin. There were no arrests in connection with this seizure as CBP did not find a link between the shipper or the importer and the drugs, said CBP.
