Plastered with cocaine

A PASSENGER whose leg was in a cast was arrested at Barcelona airport when it was discovered that the plaster was made of cocaine.

The 66-year-old Chilean's leg was plastered with five kilos of the drug.

Officers, suspecting he had illegal substances about his person, immediately transferred him to customs.

He was also found to be carrying cocaine in six cans of beer and two aluminium tubes.

Police took the plaster cast off and examined it, before transferring the patient to a health centre for tests.

The passenger was then arrested.
