Customs officials have seized more than 50 pounds (22 kgs) of marijuana from inside a tombstone. The tombstone was being shipped from Jamaica to England, through Cincinnati.
US Customs and Border Protection officers made the discovery with help from a narcotics detection dog at the Cincinnati DHL Express hub at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport.
Officers questioned last week why someone would ship a tombstone from Kingston, Jamaica, to London. An X-ray machine revealed packages of the drug in a metal box, wrapped in metal mesh and hidden inside the hollowed-out concrete marker.
The stone bears the name of 35-year-old Delroy Senior. Part of its inscription reads, "your place no one can fill." Authorities estimate the marijuana's street value at about $100,000. They have no suspects.
