Police in Mexico say they found 84 pounds (38 one-kilogram packets) of cocaine inside the luggage of a guy who claimed to be a cancer patient, as he boarded a Learjet air ambulance from Tijuana to New York City.

The cancer patient arrived at the Tijuana airport in an ambulance, and was accompanied by two female paramedics.

Drug-sniffing dogs found 38 packages of cocaine inside the man's three suitcases.
