Kiyo: Three women have been
arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle drugs through an airport dressed as
nuns.
The
smugglers were stopped as they arrived at a popular Colombian holiday
destination, because police thought that their outfits did not look real.
Officers
found that each of the women had more than 4lb of cocaine strapped to her legs.
Adding
insult to injury, the smugglers were paraded in front of cameras still dressed
in their bizarre disguise.
The
three women, aged 20, 32 and 37, had landed on the island of San Andres on a
flight from Bogota on Saturday morning.
All
three burst into tears and insisted they had only taken to smuggling because of
their financial problems, Mr Davila said.
The
women were arrested and jailed on charges of drug trafficking.
The
drugs had an estimated street value of around $35,000 (£23,000), according to
local police commissioner Jorge Gomez.
