Too-tall toupee tips police to cocaine smuggler
Spanish National Police
Barcelona airport officers took the Columbian man aside for a second security screening and found half a kilo of cocaine on his head. Police obscured the man’s identity in the photo.
A man’s toupee looked just a little too big for his head as he landed in Barcelona.
Airport officers took the Colombian man aside for a second security screening and found half a kilo of cocaine on his head, reports Reuters.
Police said the 65-year-old man arrived on a plane from Bogota in late June looking nervous and had a disproportionately large hairpiece under his hat, Reuters reports.
The officers claimed a $34,000 package of cocaine was stuck to the man’s head.
“There is no limit to the inventiveness of drug traffickers trying to mock controls,” the police said in a statement reported by Reuters.
