A Canadian was arrested at an airport in Australia, Thursday, after 11 kilos of cocaine were allegedly found in his luggage after arriving on a flight into Sydney.

The 38-year-old man’s luggage was selected for examination after disembarking a flight from the United States. An X-ray revealed anomalies in the bag. An image of the X-ray shows several brick-like shapes consistent with how bulk cocaine is typically transported.
