A Canadian national who was caught at the airport allegedly with four pounds of cocaine in his underwear, is to face the Corporate Area Resident Magistrates Court tomorrow.

The man, Sigisimund Bailey, a 57-year-old construction worker, has been in custody since his last court appearance on Friday.

He is charged with possession of, dealing in, and taking steps to export cocaine, arising from an incident at the Norman Manley International Airport on April 26.

Police reports are that Bailey had checked in to board a flight to Canada when he was searched and three rectangular-shaped parcels containing cocaine were found hidden in his underwear.

Bailey is yet to make a plea.
