10,000 Diamonds - Woman arriving from T&T
« on: February 21, 2014, 04:28:47 AM »
Woman arrested in Toronto with 10,000 diamonds within her body

A woman has been arrested at Toronto’s Pearson airport after arriving from Trinidad & Tobago with more than 10,000 diamonds concealed within her body, the RCMP said Thursday. Sergeant Richard Rollings declined to elaborate on how she was carrying them inside her or confirm whether she had ingested them. “It is a massive quantity,” he said. Police are still investigating the source of the 1,545-carats-worth of gemstones and whether they are “conflict diamonds” sold illicitly to fund wars in Africa. A total of 10,202 diamonds were recovered. Police say they are worth about $400,000. Helena Freida Bodner, 66, was to appear in court in Brampton, Ont., Friday. She has been in custody since her arrest on Feb. 3.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
