Customs officers at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport have intercepted a machine that makes pellets of cocaine which can be swallowed for smuggling.
The machine was found in the luggage of three Bulgarians. The three were caught with fake passports and plane tickets attempting to smuggle the machine onto a flight to the Dominican Republic. The customs officers think the Bulgarians were trying to set up a new smuggling route between the Dominican Republic and the Netherlands.
Strict checks on flights from Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles have forced smugglers to try new routes. This is the first time customs officers have intercepted a complete drug pellet machine at the airport.
