ST JAMES, Jamaica — The police have charged two Hungarians who were allegedly caught with cocaine while boarding a flight destined for England last week Wednesday.

They have been identified as Istavan Ozi and Andras Raffael, both car salesmen from Hungary. Ozi and Raffael are charged with possession of cocaine, dealing in cocaine and taking steps to export cocaine.

Reports are that during routine checks at the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St James, the two Hungarians were seen in the process of boarding a flight that was destined for Manchester, England.

The police said their suitcases which contained false compartments were checked and found with packages of cocaine.

The incident happened about 11:45 am.

Shortly after the incident, the men were taken to hospital and a total of 53 pellets of cocaine were expelled from their bodies, the police said.

The illicit drug weighed approximately 2.73 kilograms.

The men are scheduled to appear in the St James Parish Court on Friday, August 23.
