A Long Island man was nabbed trying to sneak seven pounds of cocaine worth $160,000 through Kennedy Airport in a secret compartment in his luggage, authorities said.

Paul Calderon, 44, of Lindenhurst, was randomly stopped Monday by US Customs and Border Protection Officers after he got off a flight from the Dominican Republic, according to Robert Perez, director of field operations at the New York office.

Officers found several bundles of cocaine.
