Looking for cocaine? Check the Easter egg candies | The Journal Gazette | Fort Wayne, IN: "Federal authorities say a Miami man was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport, trying to smuggle cocaine concealed inside phony Easter eggs.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said that 23-year-old Esteban Galtes was arrested last week night after officers searched his luggage and found more than 14 pounds of cocaine, much of it camouflaged as egg-shaped candies. He had been returning from a weeklong trip to Colombia.

The rest of the stash allegedly was hidden in a paper shopping bag. Galtes allegedly claimed the eggs were for his two children.

Galtes was being held for investigation of importation of a controlled substance."
