Cocaine Hidden Under Wig: Here's Who Ends Up in Handcuffs

February 26, 2025

A drug trafficker was arrested at Cartagena Airport in Colombia as he prepared to board a flight to Amsterdam with 220 grams of cocaine hidden inside his wig. A video released by police captured the moment an officer wearing blue gloves carefully removed the suspect's wig with scissors, revealing about a dozen strategically placed, bagged packages of the substance. Authorities estimate the European market value of the cocaine the 40-year-old was trying to smuggle into the Dutch capital is around 10,000 euros.
