POLICE in China’s Macao recently arrested a Peruvian duo at the Macao International Airport for concealing drugs in their bodies, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported Tuesday.

The duo — a woman surnamed Apontecornejo, who identified herself as a businesswoman, and her son, surnamed Floresaponte — excreted 54 condoms filled with drugs and an egg-shaped object from their bodies after they were caught.

The items, confirmed to be cocaine after laboratory tests, weighed a total of 1,945.85 grams, with a black market value of approximately 4.79 million yuan (US$670,000).

The female drug peddler admitted that she ingested three drug-filled condoms and concealed a larger egg-shaped drug capsule in her vagina Dec. 8 (Peru Time), as arranged by a drug smuggling gang, while her son swallowed 51 drug-filled condoms.

The duo flew from Peru to Spain and China’s Hong Kong on the second day, then from the Philippines to Macao, where they were intercepted.
