Imagine what $30,000 golf clubs would look like.
They could be autographed by one of the legends of the game, or perhaps the clubs were used to win a major championship. Maybe the shafts are made of gold.
Or filled with cocaine.
Federal agents intercepted a set of golf clubs from Colombia destined for New York at the international mail facility in Miami-Dade County on Monday. Traffickers attempted to cut the corner and smuggle more than a pound of cocaine in the shafts of the clubs.
“Our CBP officers are highly skilled in detecting all types of concealment methods to intercept harmful drugs and to keep them from impacting our communities,” said Christopher Maston, U.S. Customs and Border Protections port director of field operations, at Miami International Airport, according to a report in the Sun Sentinel.
