Over 4 pounds of cocaine found inside pumpkins at Canada airport
(CBS/AP) MONTREAL - Canada's border services agency says it has stumbled upon a different kind of Halloween surprise in some pumpkins this year.
According to the agency's website, three pumpkins filled with approximately 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of cocaine were found in a woman's luggage at the Trudeau International Airport in Montreal airport on Thursday.
Scanning equipment detected masses inside the pumpkins. Those masses turned out to be bags filled with the chalky substance.
A border agency spokeswoman was not able to say where the passenger was coming from or whether she was a Canadian citizen.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have taken over the investigation.
