Cocaine Seized at Boston Logan Airport

State Police and federal agents recovered 200 pounds of cocaine from a passenger plane after it landed Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at Logan International Airport.

"We seized a significant amount of cocaine from an arrival flight at Logan Airport Wednesday night,'' said State Police spokesman David Procopio. A joint task force of state troopers and agents from federal agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was involved in the seizure from the American Airlines plane coming from the Dominican Republic.

No one has yet been charged in connection with the smuggling of the cocaine.

A spokesman for American Airlines said in an email this afternoon that the flight originated in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic.

"Because this is an active, open investigation we are limited in how much we can say,'' AA spokesman Tim Smith said. "I can tell you that our American Airlines Corporate Security department is working closely with local law enforcement authorities to investigate this incident.''

The cocaine seized may be worth as much as $13 million on the street, making it one of the largest seizures in recent Massachusetts history.
