later found to be drugs worth $96,000 in the false bottom of a bag at Bermuda International Airport.

Tanya Quinn said she became suspicious when she discovered the black holdall bag carried by Jerome Eugene Dublin was heavy, even though it was supposedly empty.

Dublin, 20, of Glebe Road, Pembroke, denies nine charges of importing, possessing and handling crack cocaine, cannabis, and cannabis resin.

Dublin, she claimed, was sweating profusely and constantly fidgeting when she was checking his bag.

Ms Quinn said she put the bag through an x-ray machine after emptying the contents when Dublin arrived off the charter flight from Montego Bay, Jamaica, in the early hours of January 5 this year.

She told the jury when she turned the bag upside down, four screws did not match.

With Detective Constable John Clutterbuck, she cut open the bottom of the bag and found a number of packages wrapped in cellophane and a strong herbal smell.

Government analyst Christine Quigley told the trial on Monday that the bag had seven packages, containing cannabis, crack cocaine and cannabis resin worth $96,000.

She said there were 1,207 grammes of cannabis worth $60,000, 203 grammes of crack cocaine worth $29,000, and 181.2 grammes of cannabis resin with a street value of $7,000.

Ms Quinn told Crown prosecutor Juan Wolffe that Dublin was interviewed at Hamilton Police Station later that day and that he signed a record of the interview.

On January 7, she said Dublin made a voluntary statement to Police in the presence of his lawyer, Patricia Harvey-Burch.

His barrister Richard Hector said that in Ms Quinn's statement she did not mention that the accused was sweating profusely. He asked what she meant when she said Dublin was fidgety and his voice was shaking.

Mr. Hector said: "Are you one of those Customs officers who sees what they want to see? They interpret anything as suspicion. Are you one of those officers?'' Ms Quinn denied the suggestion, saying she was a trained officer.

The trial before Puisne Judge Norma Wade-Miller continues today.
