Woman busted with drugs in vagina

Two Surinamese women, who inserted two large lumps of cocaine into their private parts with the hope of outwitting security personnel at the Kotoka International Airport, have been arrested.
Bianca Audrey Grootfam, 35 and mother of five, besides inserting the 300-gramme compact cocaine into her private part also swallowed 58 pellets of the drug, while May Astrid, 34, and mother of four, also swallowed four pellets and inserted 82 pellets in her anus besides the 150 grammes inserted into her private part.
The third suspect, Osamwonyi Obazee Ode, 23, a Nigerian, swallowed 58 pellets of cocaine and was also arrested at the airport while going through departure formalities to go to Spain.
Sources close to the Narcotics Control Board told the paper last Saturday that both Bianca and Maya took three days to expel the cocaine.
