AMSTERDAM — Police arrested three Bolivian women disguised as nuns at Amsterdam airport as they tried to smuggle 37 pounds of cocaine through customs under their habits, a customs spokesman said today.
An official became suspicious when the “sisters” could not produce proper identification after they arrived via Copenhagen on a flight from Rio de Janeiro Monday. Body searches showed the three were each carrying more than 11 pounds of the drug under corsets. The cocaine was worth at least $750,000.
