I wonder how rocker the wig was, before they cut it off the guy's scalp?

Photos showing the cocaine capsules, glued under the wig, as they pull it back off the guy's head! Lol

'Narco Wig' Smuggler $42M Plan Falls Flat At Airport That's One Bad Hair Day!!!

Colombia’s national police were in for a hair-raising shock when they busted a man trying to board a plane wearing a "Narco wig" -- a disguise hiding $42 million worth of illicit goods.

The unnamed 40-year-old man, hailing from Colombia's Coffee Region, got snagged by authorities just before boarding his flight to Amsterdam at Cartagena's Rafael Núñez International Airport -- after a security scanner exposed nine cocaine capsules cleverly camouflaged beneath a synthetic thick black wig.

Don’t believe it? Well, there’s video proof of authorities thwarting his criminal scheme -- carefully snipping away at the wig to reveal all the cocaine stashed underneath.

The National Police said in a press release that busting the guy prevented the sale of over 400 doses of cocaine -- worth more than 10,000 euros in European markets.

The man was a seasoned pro with two prior drug trafficking charges -- and another one about to be slapped on.

Authorities haven't linked him to any criminal org just yet ... but they suspect he's working for someone, and investigators are hoping to uncover their identity in due course.

As for the wig ... safe to say it's not making it through customs anytime soon.

Damn dude. Just get a bag of those powdered donuts and dump the coke in there. Nobody will notice.

Coke is one of the easiest things to hide.

That's using your head

Bogota airport used to have 3 separate security checks before you could get on the plane, including a chemical test on your fingertips just before the departure lounge, though they seem to have dropped that now. Then usually when you get off at the other end you're greeted by a line of police with sniffer dogs.

OTOH I once accidentally left a swiss army knife in my carry-on before an internal flight, realised just in time and one of the airport shop managers said they'd keep it until I got back, for a small fee. And yes I got it back. I can't see that ever happening in the US or UK. Lovely people, great country, shame about the drugs trade f/ing it all up.
