MONTREAL — Call them crack-o-lanterns.
The Canada Border Services Agency says it busted a woman with cocaine-filled pumpkins at Trudeau Airport on Halloween.
She spent Halloween in a jail cell after the coke-gorged gourds made guards suspicious.
"When we searched her luggage, the pumpkins that we found seemed heavy," Canada Border Services Agency spokeswoman Jacqueline Roby said.
"We decided to open the pumpkins and there were bags of cocaine, in the pumpkins."
Mounties interrogated the suspect and she faces unspecified charges.
"Perhaps they thought that there were a lot of pumpkins coming into the country, which is not the case, and that we wouldn't be careful, but it was not the case," Roby said.
