Cocaine and marijuana in potato chips, couriers exposed by drug dogs

They had hidden the drug in the packets of chips but the trick was discovered thanks to the sniffing of the drug dogs.

Four couriers, who arrived in Italy on several buses from Spain, were arrested in Turin, during the checks carried out at the Corso Vittorio terminal.

A young Dominican woman, a sixty year old of Spanish descent, a twenty year old Moroccan and a thirty year old Italian ended up in handcuffs: they were carrying half a kilo of cocaine and six and a half kilos of marijuana in plastic bags. But the dogs of the Guardia di Finanza, Joy, Loca and Ebron, have unmasked them.

Two of the detainees tried to deny that they were the owners of the substance, but were framed by the surveillance cameras installed on board the buses.
