A 29-year-old woman went to a post office in San Fernando yesterday and attempted to mail a package containing packets of cocaine.
The drug, with an estimated street value of $100,000, was stashed inside a Bible, police said.
The woman who lives at King’s Wharf, San Fernando, was taken into police custody around midday.
Police said she went to the Carlton Centre branch of TTPost and filled out a form to send the package to an address in Toronto, Canada. She gave her address as Cocoyea, San Fernando.
Employees examined the package and found 29 packets of cocaine. Police said pages of a Bible were cut out and replaced with the drug.
The woman told police she did not know what was inside the package, since a friend asked her to make the trip to the post office.
The woman was being interrogated by investigators last evening.
San Fernando police are continuing investigations.
