Criminals are an unpredicatable species.
Some of them shock us with their genius, carrying out their misdeeds with a finesse that is almost admirable.
And others attempt to smuggle drugs in passports.
S’porean Woman Arrested in Bali For Attempted Drug Smuggling After Hiding Cocaine In Passport
A Singaporean woman who tried to hide drugs in her passport was among six arrested upon arrival for drug smuggling to Bali in the past two months.
According to The New Paper, she was paraded in public along with the five other suspects in an orange detainee uniform with her hands tied.
What they smuggled
According to Mothership, the six suspects were all arrested separately at the airport. The suspects include a Swiss man, a Thai man, a Chilean man, two Hong Kong men, and the Singaporean woman.
The first suspect that was nabbed was the Swiss man, who was arrested on Nov 4 with a total of 30.04g of marijuana in his luggage.
Just two days, later, customs officers arrested a Thai man with 17.76g of marijuana concealed in his underwear.
The Chilean was caught two weeks later with 77.26g of liquid methamphetamine.
The first Hong Kong suspect was arrested on Dec 4 with 3.2kg of crystal methamphetamine in his luggage.
The second Hong Konger was captured last week with 4kg of crystal methamphetamine wrapped in four branded pet food packaging in his luggage.
I swear, officers, my dogs forced me to smuggle them. They’re addicts.
As for the Singaporean woman, an immigration officer found 0.35g of cocaine in a small plastic bag inside of her passport.
Her passport? I can’t decide if that’s stupid or ingenious.
May get the death penalty
In case you forgot, the woman was arrested in Bali, Indonesia. Indonesia is known for its tough stance against drugs and has extremely strict drug laws.
Convicted smugglers are sometimes sentenced to death, executed by firing squad.
“The law allows for a life sentence or the death penalty,” said the head of Bali police narcotics unit Ida Bagus Komang Ardika.
So, just for placing less than 1 gram of cocaine in her passport, this woman could be executed.
Do I agree with this harsh law? Definitely not. But if you’re travelling to a country like Indonesia, Singapore, or any country in Southeast Asia, really, you should know better than to smuggle drugs.
