In Colombia, the police arrested a 40-year-old man who tried to smuggle several bags of cocaine
00:07
hidden under a carefully placed tupi onto a flight to the Netherlands.
00:12
According to the police, the suspect was arrested on Monday at Cartagena Airport as he was about
00:18
to board a flight to Amsterdam.
00:21
As can be revealed, the hidden shipment of 220 grams of cocaine packed in small bags
00:27
strategically placed under the narco wig.
00:30
Police estimate the street value of the drug to be approximately 10,000 euros on European
00:36
markets.
00:37
In this context, a police video captured the moment when an officer wearing blue gloves
00:41
carefully removed the suspect with scissors, revealing approximately a dozen pockets of
00:47
cocaine.
00:56
After scanning this person, we found he had a wig containing more than 220 grams of cocaine,
01:02
which he intended to take to the Netherlands.
01:07
With this action, we attach the criminal revenue in Europe with an estimated price of more
01:12
than 10,000 euros.
01:14
This is the second detention at the airport in these checkpoints.
