A female flight attendant with LIAT, who was arrested on Tuesday by the Royal Barbados Police Force (RBPF), has been officially charged with trafficking drugs.
Dee Plummer, 33, a Saint Lucia-born air hostess, was allegedly found with drugs in her possession at the Grantley Adams International Airport, after arriving on a flight from Saint Lucia on that same day.
On arriving in Barbados, Plumber was referred to Customs and a search revealed five kilos of cocaine in her handbag. A search warrant was later executed at her apartment and 1.3 grams of cannabis was discovered.
