British woman remanded on drug charges again

ST James, Jamaica – British resident Rachael Quayle, who is accused of attempting to export more than $45 million worth of cocaine from Jamaica, was again remanded when she appeared in the St James Parish Court on Friday.

Quayle is to return to court on September 13.

The 28-year-old is before the court on charges of possession, dealing in, attempting to export, and conspiracy, to export cocaine. She was arrested and charged after 21 pounds of cocaine was reportedly found in her luggage at the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St James.

Allegations are that on August 21, Quayle attempted to board a flight destined for the United Kingdom when her luggage was searched. During the search, 9.5 kilogrammes of cocaine were found concealed in an assortment of food items.

The drug has a reported street value of J$45 million.
