Police Find Suitcases Made Of Cocaine

(AP)  Police said two suitcases carried by a woman who was about to fly from Chile to Spain were made of cocaine.

Detective Leandro Morales at the Santiago airport said the drug "was not hidden in the luggage. This time the suitcases were the drug."

Morales told The Associated Press that the suitcases were made of a substance combining cocaine with resin and glass fiber.

He said Tuesday a "chemical process" could be used to separate out the drug.

The officer says the suitcases were heavier than their contents.

The 26-year-old Argentine woman was arrested.

Cheech and Chong though this up over 30 years ago in their first movie with the Mexican delivery van made out of marijuana. What took so long for someone to copy it?

If this was a Cheech and Chong movie Sgt. Stedenko would bust the woman with the cocaine suitcases and let the plane made out of weed take off.

Several months ago a shipping container was found to contain a ocean racer boat molded from cocaine. Some 7 billion dollars worth.The dogs hit on the container and the customs agents didn't see anything suspicious but the dogs would not give up. The boat had been made to support all the hardware and motor.

I believe it - this type of approach has been tried by smugglers before. They'll incorporate cocaine into the manufacture of something like a vase and then isolate the cocaine once it reaches its destination. I wonder how long they were getting away with this approach before the Feds figured it out.

Coca is a fine South American crop. Growers should reduce the strength of their product. Coca with average intensity receives little interest from law enforcement officers.
