Two
American Women Detained At San José Airport
For Drug Smuggling
Two Americans will be guests of Costa Rica
for some years and all at the expense of the
Ministerio de Justicia, after being found
with some 3.8 Kg of cocaine hidden in their
underwear, while leaving the country at the
Juan Santamaría (San José) airport.
The first of the two was detained by the
Policía Aeroportuaria (airport police) when
passing through the x-ray machines, when
officials noticed something strange in the
abdomen area of the traveller.
The 26 year old woman was only identified by
her last name, Daniels.
Moments later, the airport police saw
something strange in two other Americans,
keeping a close eye on the tow as they moved
about the boarding gates.
Moments before boarding the flight, police
moved in and after an exhaustive personal
search came upon the illicit drug. The woman
was identified by her last name Cooper and
is 27 years old. The other person was set
free when agents did not find anything on
her person.
The two women detained for drug smuggling
may spend from 8 to 20 years in a Costa
Rican prison.
