The bricks weighed 23 kilograms.
On Tuesday customs officers found another unclaimed suitcase on a flight from the Dominican Republic and discovered another 17 bricks, this time weighing in at 25 kilograms.
In both cases field tests suggest the substance is cocaine but the finding must still be confirmed through lab testing.
