Fake fracture and bags of cocaine

By Vijay Kumar

Dutch customs caught a woman from the Latin American country of Suriname, trying to smuggle 3.3 pounds of cocaine into the country in a plaster cast on her leg.

The woman acted nervously while her passport was being checked and agents became suspicious about the thickness of the cast.

She had two different letters from a doctor about her leg, and both of them appeared fake. A sniffer dog quickly indicated that the cast contained more than plaster. The woman was taken to hospital, where an X-ray revealed the drugs but no fractures.
