wig where he hides a half kilo cocaine.
Spanish National Police has
announced the arrest of a 65 year-old Colombian at Barcelona’s international
airport after half a kilo of cocaine was found hidden under an over-sized wig
or toupee that he wore.
Arriving on a flight from
Bogota, the man attracted police attention as he looked nervous and had a
disproportionately large hairpiece under his hat. They found a package stuck to
his head with about 30,000 euros ($34,000) of cocaine.
“There is no limit to the
inventiveness of drug traffickers trying to mock controls,” said the police
statement on Tuesday.
Over 100 kilos of cocaine
were seized by Spanish police at the Barcelona-El Prat airport in 2018.
The Colombian was detained
at the end of June after being charged with crime against public health.
