Drugs Smuggler Arrested By Spanish Authorities After Hiding Cocaine In His Pants. Photo

A smuggler was caught trying to enter Spain after a suspiciously large bulge in his pants turned out to be a stash of drugs. The 43-year-old had attached a plastic container to his privates with more than a pound of cocaine inside - but was searched as he flew into Madrid Airport from Costa Rica.

Officers examined his hand luggage and found nothing before turning their attention to his trousers and the large object between his legs.

 The bulge was still noticeable - as a photo issued by police revealed - despite the fact he was wearing a pair of black boxer shorts over pants with a floral design on them.

Spanish police couldn't resist the obvious pun as they tweeted a picture of the trafficker alongside the message: 'A suspicious package between his legs.'
