Last Friday, Miami International Airport officers got a surprise when they searched the bags of a 17-year-old British girl headed back to London from Jamaica, finding cake-mix boxes.
The interesting discovery revealed that the boxes weren’t full of red velvet or devil’s cake batter but of 29.3 pounds of coke valued at about $650K!
Ayesha Olivia Niles, a 5’4″ student three days shy of her 18th birthday, was en route from Jamaica when she drew the short straw at MIA for an automatic screening, the Miami Herald reports.
Niles claimed she didn’t know she was carrying cocaine, “though she suspected the activity she was involved in was suspicious.”
The London teen was 17 years old when she was arrested,however, turned 18 while in custody. She will be charged as an adult.
Here is the photo of the cake boxes:
