Trick or treat – pumpkins filled with cocaine

Canada's border services agency says it has stumbled upon a different kind of Halloween surprise in some pumpkins this year. Authorities believe three pumpkins found in a woman's luggage at the Trudeau International Airport in Montreal airport on Thursday were stuffed with approximately 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of cocaine. Scanning equipment detected masses inside the pumpkins – and those masses turned out to be bags filled with the chalky substance. A border agency spokeswoman was not able to say where the passenger was coming from or whether she was a Canadian citizen. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have taken over the investigation
