In Argentina detained a girl who was posing as pregnantto hide a large shipment of marijuana.
It all started with the fact that checkpoint in an area known as vallée-de-SKR, near the border of Argentina with Chile, stopped by a couple – a man and a girl. The man in the bag found a bag of marijuana. But it turned out it was only to distract local police from a large consignment of drugs, which she hid «in the belly of a pregnant».
The Minister of security of Argentina Patricia Bullrich published photographs of drug seizures on Twitter, writing:
«She did a belly of pasta, put it in this 15 «bricks» of cannabis and faked the pregnancy to carry drugs in the Patagonian region of Santa Cruz. And the fake expectant mother and her accomplice are under arrest.»
According to Bullrich, the girl hid «in the stomach» almost 4 kg of marijuana.
