Easter eggs are the perfect way to to conceal 14 pounds of cocaine...unless you're dumb enough to try it two days before Christmas.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers didn't have to work too hard seeing candy for the wrong holiday, though it was Jesus related. Esteban Galtes (23) is now being held without bail after trying to smuggling that cocaine through LAX after a week-long trip in Colombia. Man, that must have been a powder avalanche of a week to think that was going to work. His charge of importation of a controlled substance carries a max penalty of life in prison.
Galtes' luggage held most of the cocaine, camouflaged as pastel-colored Easter egg candies, while the remainder was hidden under a cardboard false bottom of a paper shopping bag. The cocaine has a street value of more than $100,000, while the candy was around $6.98. Galtes told the officers that the eggs were for his two children - and I say you deserve to be caught if you're planning to waste all that yeyo on kids.
