Colombian Finds Cocaine
in Dentures
A sharp-eyed airport
inspector foiled a plot
to ship 20 pounds of
cocaine to Panama when
he discovered the drugs
stuffed inside sets of
false teeth.
The boxes of druggy
dentures seized Friday
at Bogota's El Dorado
Airport contained about
us$300,000 worth of pure
cocaine, Colombian
police said in a
statement.
In an effort to stay one
step ahead of the law,
traffickers in the
world's No. 1
cocaine-producing
country have long found
creative means of
camouflaging their drugs
for export.
Panama is a transit
route for Colombian
cocaine headed to the
United States. |
