If an all-expenses paid trip to Canada, including accommodations and new luggage, sounds too good to be true, well, hindsight is 20/20.
An Australian couple thought they’d won a dream vacation when they were revealed as the “lucky” winners of a contest they’d entered online. It turns out the competition, from bogus Canada-based tour company AusCan Tours, was effectively an application to be drug mules.
When the Perth couple, ages 64 and 72, returned home to Australia a little suspicious about their bags, they alerted the airport’s customs officials, who found $7 million in crystal meth stashed in the lining, the AFP reports. Australian police think the couple’s luggage was switched in Canada.
