Henry Polanco

10 airline workers at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, appeared in federal court Tuesday on international drug smuggling and distribution charge
Authorities say they've arrested 18 people in connection with a drug smuggling ring at JFK airport.The drugs were hidden in luggage on international commercial flights from the Dominican Republic to JFK, the complaint alleges.Once the luggage arrived, it was relocated to a "safe" area, hidden from law enforcement, it says.While the diversion was taking place, the defendants used lookouts to watch for law officers
The leader of the defendants was Henry Polanco, who dealt with the drug suppliers in the Dominican Republic, according to the complaint.
He used employees from Delta, American Airlines and food-services company Aramark to help smuggle the drugs into the United States, the complaint says.
The charges are a result of a two-year investigation, during which federal agents found 46 kilograms (101 pounds) of cocaine, 25 kilograms (55 pounds) of heroin and 3 kilograms (6 pounds) of MDMA (ecstasy), according to a Justice Department news release.
