[NYPOST] Two Delta Airlines ramp agents were arrested for smuggling more than $3 million worth of ketamine through John F. Kennedy International Airport, federal authorities said.

and Fabian Innis were collared after they were allegedly spotted grabbing backpacks and suitcases off a just-arrived flight Sept. 19, loading them onto a baggage transportation vehicle before ferrying the luggage to a deserted area of the tarmac, according to court papers.

Neither agent had authority to remove luggage, and Alleyne was not assigned to use the baggage vehicle at the time, authorities said.

Investigators for the US Department of Homeland Security spotted Alleyne, 38, of Brooklyn, and Innis, as they approached Flight 219, which had arrived from Copenhagen, Denmark, and later swooped in after the pair had started opening the bags, according to court documents.

They discovered each backpack contained multiple clear plastic bags containing a white crystallized substance, which field tests confirmed as ketamine. The pair were caught with 134 pounds of the drug, with a street value of $3 million, officials said.

Four of the suitcases bore luggage tags with the names of two different Flight 219 passengers, prosecutors said in Brooklyn Federal Court papers. The complaint did not specify if the passengers were part of the smuggling operation, but did say Alleyne and Innis were working with others.

#1  Processing 134 Pounds of Ketamine to powder is an endeavor. Stuff is shipped as a liquid and needs to be evaporated and dried out before further processing. That is a lot of work.
