A Colombian drug smuggler was caught trying to conceal half a kilo of cocaine glued to his head under a makeshift wig at Barcelona airport.
Officers noticed that the 65-year-old passenger, who had arrived on a flight from Bogotá, seemed extremely nervous.
Of particular note was the unusual size and height of the man’s wig.
When officers asked the man to remove the toupee, they discovered $47,837 worth of cocaine stashed inside.
Photos showed how the large quantity of illicit powder had kept his toupee propped up conspicuously.
A police statement read: “There is no limit to the inventiveness of drug traffickers trying to mock controls.”
