Woman Nabbed at Airport with Bags of Cocaine in Hair

Her suspiciously heavy hairstyle was the cops' first big clue. A 25-year-old woman was arrested trying to board a plane at the Dubai airport when inspectors noticed a suspicious bulge in her hair, Emirates 24/7 reported. The woman said it was just a special glue to attach her extensions — but inspectors weren't buying it. Ten bags of cocaine containing a total of 360 grams — or close to a pound — of cocaine were found taped inside her curls, a counter-narcotics official told reporters. According to the official, the woman — who was coming from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and heading to Nairobi, Kenya — said a South African friend in Buenos Aires was paying her to smuggle the drugs to a man in Johannesburg. The official said the woman had been referred to Dubai authorities.
