Most of the time when people attempt to smuggle cocaine out of a county they hide the drugs. Not one woman in Chile, she had her cocaine front and center. She attempted to smuggle over 10 kilos of cocaine using the drug as her luggage.
Investigators found between 10 and 15 kilos of cocaine had been used to form the woman's luggage. That much cocaine helped the bags tip the scale at 20 kilos each. It puzzled the police considering she didn't seem to be carrying very much inside the suitcases.
