TSA agents at Phoenix Sky Harbor find meth in checked luggage bound for Utah
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Federal agents at Phoenix Sky Harbor made an unexpected discovery hidden inside of a traveler’s bag this week.
TSA agents located a suspicious item inside of a checked bag on a flight from Phoenix to Salt Lake City, Utah on Tuesday.
Phoenix Police’s Airport Bureau Officers were called and verified that it was believed to be illegal drugs. An officer tested the drugs and determined it was two pounds of methamphetamine.
Authorities say the traveler had already boarded the plane and the flight left the gate, so the man were not arrested during the investigation.
Police are expected to follow up on the case and submit the case for possible charges to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.
Earlier this month, airport security also seized six vacuumed-sealed bricks of fentanyl powder and 5,000 fentanyl pills.
