The arrested drug traffickers dressed as nuns (L) and as non-religious narcos
Police on the Colombian Caribbean island of San Andres arrested three fake nuns carrying $35 thousand worth of cocaine under their clothes.
The three suspects, Colombians aged 20, 32 and 37 were arrested at the airport of San Andres as they were trying to enter the island.
All three had hidden two kilos of cocaine under their religious habit.
“They weren’t really religious, they weren’t nuns. On the contrary, they were taking advantage of this situation,” San Andres police commissioner Jorge Gomez told RCN TV.
According to the police official, the drugs — 60,000 doses — had a street value of $35,470 and was likely to be distributed locally.
The fake nuns were taken to the local prison to await trial.

BOGOTA, Colombia -- The nuns' habits didn't seem to be habitual garb for three young women so Colombian police asked them to step aside when they arrived on the Caribbean island of San Andres on a flight from Bogota.
Police Capt. Oscar Davila says the three women appeared nervous, and the fabric didn't look right.
The chief of the island's judicial police says more than four pounds of cocaine (two kilos) was strapped to the legs of each woman. Davila says all three broke into tears and launched into tales of financial hardship.
None of the three is a nun, and all were arrested early Saturday and jailed on drug trafficking charges

The horror became apparent with the kidnapping of 6 men from El Fuerte and Juan Jose Rios on April 8. Their bodies were dumped in a Jeep Cherokee SUV on the shoulder of the Mexico highway 15 on April 20. Five of the victims have been identified as Sergio Roberto Valenzuela Aqui, el Checo, Leonard Alberto Romero Aguilar, el Leonard, Luis Rey Ramirez Guerrero, el Pili, Luis Alberto Osorio Valenzuela, el Chuy Poros, and Arturo Andalon Miranda, el Wico.
One of the victims is believed to be a municipal police officer, and they are from Juan Jose Rios, Constancia, Tehueco, and Mochicahui. The narcomanta left with the victims was directed at Ahome police commander Jesus Carrasco Ruiz and his officers.

the Federal District and forms part of the Mexico City metropolitan
