Two men traveling by bus through Kansas City, Missouri, have been charged after officers say they found nearly 24 pounds of heroin in their luggage.
Darwin, 23, and Cristian, 28, were charged in a federal criminal complaint with one count of possessing heroin with intent to distribute, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the DEA.
Authorities said the men arrived in Kansas City on Monday, May 3, on a bus traveling from Los Angeles to New York. A police service dog alerted to a suitcase stored under the bus. When an officer asked passengers to identify their luggage, the men claimed four suitcases. Officers said they found two bundles hidden inside each one, eight bundles in all, totaling 23.7 pounds of heroin.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office noted that the charge is simply an accusation and not evidence of guilt. The case would have to be proven in court.
