UA 40-year-old Colombian citizen was arrested at Cartagena's Rafael Núñez International Airport while attempting to board a flight to Amsterdam with 220 grams of cocaine hidden under a toupee.
During the security checks, the Anti-Narcotics Police officers noticed the suspicious behavior of the man. A subsequent inspection revealed 19 capsules of cocaine hidden under a wig that was tight to the scalp. The value of the drug on the European market is estimated at around 10.000 euros.
A video released by the Colombian National Police shows the moment officers remove the wig, exposing the drug capsules. The suspect, originally from Pereira, has a criminal record for drug trafficking and was handed over to the Attorney General's Office on charges of trafficking, production and possession of narcotics.
