A 40-year-old Colombian man 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 security checks, anti-narcotics officers noticed the man's suspicious behavior. A subsequent inspection revealed 19 cocaine capsules hidden under a wig that was tightly wrapped around his scalp. The street value of the drugs on the European market is estimated at approximately €10.000.

It's incredible how people can think of doing certain things. Putting drugs under a wig and thinking you won't be caught is really stupid. I hope he gets punished for what he did, it's an example not to follow.
