Sky high: Air hostess 'caught carrying cocaine worth £1.5 million in her bags'

AN AIR hostess is reportedly on the run after stuffing bricks of coke in her bags.

   PLANE WRONG: The woman is believed to have fled the airport

Sources claim the woman kicked off her heels and dropped her bags after being picked for a random screening.

She then fled Los Angeles International Airport and has yet to be found, Special Agent Timothy Massino said.

It is believed her bags were filled with 70kg of the class A drug – worth a whopping £1.4million on the street.

   TERMINAL: The incident took place in Los Angeles on Friday

Police spokesman Marshall McClain last night told the Los Angeles Times: "This is more than likely not her first time doing this."

He added: "I don't believe anybody would trust a mule with that amount of dope the first time out.

"You're talking about $2million (£1.4million) worth of cocaine. That's pretty troubling."

   ON THE LINE: Sources claim the drugs are worth £1.4million

Last year four baggage handlers were jailed after smuggling drugs on to planes in nearby San Diego.

They took coke and meth into the city's airport and handed them to a courier in a toilet cubicle, according to officers.

Local media said they worked for Delta Global Services, which provides ground services for several airlines.
