A Canadian woman travelling to Australia with her young son was caught at the airport with a large load of cocaine in her luggage, according to Australian police. The woman, who was identified only as L. Roberts, arrived at Sydney International Airport on a flight from Canada with three large suitcases and her young son on June 30. Initial testing returned a presumptive positive result for cocaine, with a total weight of approximately 12 kilograms,” officials said. In 2015, four young Canadians and an American were stopped and arrested at Sydney airport after nearly 40 kg of cocaine was found in their suitcases. All five pleaded guilty in Australia to importing commercial quantities of cocaine and received significant prison time.
