Drug traffickers will go to any lengths to get their dope across international borders.
In Berlin, a 24-year-old Colombian woman was arrested at Frankfurt airport after she was found to be carrying 1kg of cocaine inside her breasts.
Airport officials became suspicious after they found fresh operation scars below the woman’s breasts during a search and complained of severe pain.
The drugs had been inserted into her body during a hasty operation.
She was sent to a local hospital where doctors removed two 500-gram lumps of cocaine wrapped in plastic from each of her breasts.
The drugs have a market value of ($220,000) and were destined for Spain.
Airport spokesman Hans-Juergen Schmidt said:
“This is the first case in Germany in which drugs have been smuggled in this fashion.”
Customs agents were shocked by what they said was the amateurish surgery.
Schmidt said:
It shows how drugs smugglers “are completely indifferent to human life and the life-threatening conditions of their drug carriers.”
The woman, who said she has three children in Colombia where she worked in agriculture, is facing drug trafficking charges and jail time.
One word. Ouch!

She spent 13 months at a correctional centre in Danbury, Connecticut from February 2004. As a white, middle-class prisoner, Kerman quickly became aware of the ways the prison system fails Americans – but particularly poor Americans, and people of colour. Since her stint behind bars, she’s become a vocal advocate for prisoners rights.
She’s been on the board of the Women’s Prison Association for six years and teaches non-fiction writing in two prisons in Ohio. And in a move that brought her story to prominence, she also wrote a memoir that served as the inspiration for hugely popular Netflix show Orange Is The New Black.
