A woman with more than 1,500 grams of hashish strapped to her body has been arrested at Melilla Airport just moments before catching a flight to Malaga.
Border officials first noticed the Argentinian individual was extremely nervous while trying to pass a National Police checkpoint to board the plane bound for the Costa del Sol, according to investigators.
The 33-year-old woman was then questioned about her upcoming trip but "answered incoherently and was elusive and irritable", according to a police spokesperson. She was then searched where officers discovered the hashish strapped to her body with tape and arrested her.
