British woman hid cocaine under her wig was caught by customs
You might be right in thinking that the British woman involved might be a certain Amy Winehouse.
But No, it’s not her, thankfully. Although I’ve often wondered what Amy keeps stuffed in the hairdo that would make Madge Simpson yellow with envy.
I have heard that people smuggle stuffs in their private parts. But this is really creative…
According to the Daily Mail a 32 year old British woman hid cocaine under her wig and was arrested in at Vaernes airport in Norway on suspicion of drug smuggling.
An airport customs officer noticed she had ‘a lot of hair’.
Closer examination revealed a one kilogram (2.2lb) bag of cocaine glued to her head under a hairpiece. Apparently, the drug was glued so firmly to the woman’s real hair that police had to take her to hospital to have it removed.
A spokesman for Norway’s customs service said: ‘During a conversation with the woman, a customs official noticed she had a lot of hair and thought she was wearing a wig.
‘The woman and the drugs were later handed to police.’
The unnamed woman was stopped at Vaernes airport, near Trondheim, after flying in from Copenhagen on Sunday evening.
A court has remanded her until July 15.

I’ve also wondered about Amy’s hair. Mostly why on earth anyone would leave the house by free will looking like that.
