A Brazilian Lady probably thought she’d come up with a foolproof way of smuggling drugs when she masqueraded as a mum-to-be. Police wouldn’t search a pregnant woman, right? Wrong.
The 24-year-old brunette created an elaborate fake bump, which was stuck to her stomach with lengths of tape and then covered with clothes. Inside the “belly” was 3kg of cocaine.
A man travelling with her was reportedly also arrested. It is not clear what punishment, if any, the pair received.
This is not the first time a woman has tried smuggling drugs by pretending to be pregnant.
