A Colombian man has been arrested in Spain after trying to smuggle cocaine under his wig.
Police noticed the 65-year-old acting suspiciously in Barcelona Airport, after arriving from Bogota.
When officers searched him they found half a kilo of cocaine stuck to his head under his hairpiece.

When authorities took him aside for questioning, they noticed his hair piece was disproportionately tall.
On closer inspection, they found he had €30,000 worth of cocaine taped to his head, under a toupe, under a hat.
A police statement said: "There is no limit to the inventiveness of drug traffickers trying to mock controls."
