Argentinian police recently arrested a woman for allegedly trying to smuggle four kilograms of weed in a fake baby bump<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cops encountered the \u201cpregnant\u201d woman and her partner at a police checkpoint in Valle de Uco, Argentina. The would-be smugglers were traveling on a bus from Mendoza to Santa Oliva in Patagonia, a sparsely populated region at the southern end of South America that is shared by both Chile and Argentina.<\/p>\n

During a routine search, police discovered that the woman’s partner was carrying two bricks of cannabis<\/u><\/a> in his luggage. This discovery prompted cops to take a closer look at the woman’s suspiciously-shaped baby bump. Further investigation revealed that the woman was not pregnant at all, but was actually carrying 4 kilograms of weed stashed in a fake belly made from a starch-based paste.<\/p>\n

Patricia Bullrich, Argentinian Minister for Security, shared pictures of the cunning disguise in a tweet<\/u><\/a> tagged \u201cNarco Pregnancy.\u201d Bullrich explained that the suspect \u201cmade a belly out of paste, hid 15 cannabis bricks inside it and faked a pregnancy before trying to take it from Mendoza to Santa Cruz\u201d in neighboring Chile. \u201cAt a police control the pretend mum-to-be and her accomplice were arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n
