A Colombian drug mule pretending to be pregnant was busted by cops after she was caught with a huge stash of narcotics in a pretend baby bump.
The 27-year-old suspect was arrested on board a bus in the city of Cali after police discovered that she was wearing a latex belly, in which they found her to be hiding up to 5,600 individual doses of cocaine.
The unnamed woman is said to have travelled from Narino in south-west Colombia and had been passing through Cali to reach the capital, Bogota, when she was intercepted by police.
According to Colombian authorities, the sophisticated prosthetic bellies are purchased abroad by drug trafficking networks.
Warning of the fake pregnancy tactic, Cali Police Commander Brigadier General Carlos Oviedo said in a statement: 'These types of garments are used as costume accessories or disguises to simulate pregnancies.
