Customs Air and Marine Division, went to the airport to carry out surveillance, notes an HPD Facebook post issued June 25.
Inside, detectives found six large canvas duffel bags and six big suitcases filled with suspected cannabis, marijuana vape cartridges and pre-rolled weed cigars.
HDP reports that, initially, both pilots and the sole passenger, 40-year-old Leonard Lopez of Miami, were detained and interviewed.
The aircraft — which, depending on numerous factors and if it is pre-owned, has an average price of US$995,000 — “was seized and is pending forfeiture through the 21st Judicial District Attorney’s Office,” according to the HPD.
There’s no shortage of reports of people using planes to transport cannabis illegally.
