British Mother, Daughter Busted with Cocaine in Spain

0:00On April 9, a British mother and her 19-year-old daughter got busted at Valencia Airport in Spain, caught with 42 kilos of cocaine, stuffed in their suitcases. The 47-year-old mom and her kid were trying to hop a flight back to Birmingham after pretending to be Easter tourists in the city. They got nabbed last Thursday night, just days after landing, right before the big holiday kicked off. Cops found the drugs packed in 23 packets inside two bags, all in tablet form, and hauled them before a judge who sent them straight to A. Local jail near the airport. This isn't the first time Brits have tripped up at that spot. End of May, a 33-year-old couple from the UK got pinched there too, with 33 kilos of marijuana in their luggage after acting all. Nervous on arrival from Thailand, that pair claimed they were just tourists, but scanners spotted the stash with no clothes inside, leading to their arrest and jail time. Officials confirmed it was prime marijuana, and they're likely still locked up.

1:01Spanish police are ramping up checks at these hot spots, with more cases popping like an only fans' model, nabbed in Barcelona last year, and another Brit, on a ferry. Looks like the heat's on for drug renters using Spain as a gateway.
