Colombia’s nationwide police have been in for a hair-raising shock after they busted a person making an attempt to board a airplane sporting a “Narco wig” — a disguise hiding $42 million Colombian Pesos — about 10K USD — price of illicit items.

The unnamed 40-year-old man, hailing from Colombia’s Espresso Area, received snagged by authorities simply earlier than boarding his flight to Amsterdam at Cartagena’s Rafael Núñez Worldwide Airport — after a safety scanner uncovered 9 cocaine capsules cleverly camouflaged beneath an artificial thick black wig.

Don’t imagine it? Nicely, there’s video proof of authorities thwarting his legal scheme — rigorously snipping away on the wig to disclose all of the cocaine stashed beneath.

The Nationwide Police stated in a press launch that busting the man prevented the sale of over 400 doses of cocaine — price greater than 10,000 euros in European markets.

The person was a seasoned professional with two prior drug trafficking costs — and one other one about to be slapped on.

Authorities have not linked him to any legal org simply but … however they think he is working for somebody, and investigators are hoping to uncover their identification sooner or later.
