‘Narco Wig’ Smuggler’s $10K Plan Falls Flat, Busted at Colombia Airport

Colombia’s nationwide police have been in for a hair-raising shock after they busted a person making an attempt to board a aircraft sporting a “Narco wig” — a disguise hiding $42 million Colombian Pesos — about 10K USD — value of illicit items.

The unnamed 40-year-old man, hailing from Colombia’s Espresso Area, bought snagged by authorities simply earlier than boarding his flight to Amsterdam at Cartagena’s Rafael Núñez Worldwide Airport — after a safety scanner uncovered 9 cocaine capsules cleverly camouflaged beneath an artificial thick black wig.

Don’t imagine it? Effectively, there’s video proof of authorities thwarting his felony scheme — rigorously snipping away on the wig to disclose all of the cocaine stashed beneath.

The Nationwide Police stated in a press launch that busting the man prevented the sale of over 400 doses of cocaine — value greater than 10,000 euros in European markets.

The person was a seasoned professional with two prior drug trafficking fees — and one other one about to be slapped on.

Authorities have not linked him to any felony org simply but … however they believe he is working for somebody, and investigators are hoping to uncover their id in the end.
