44 Year-old Guyana Woman Held In Ireland For Swallowing 100 Pellets Cocaine

A woman has been arrested at Dublin airport on suspicion of swallowing more than €100,000 worth of cocaine.

Revenue officials said the 44 year-old, from Guyana, was stopped as part of an “intelligence-led” operation involving the gardai.

She is suspected of having swallowed 100 pellets of cocaine found in her system – around 1.7 kilos of the drug.

It is believed the drugs would have a street value in Ireland of almost €120,000.

The woman has been in custody since being stopped and arrested by gardai on Tuesday.

She is being questioned at Ballymun Garda station under section two of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, according to a Revenue spokeswoman.

    “Investigations are continuing,” she added.

Wow, this is both shocking and disgusting. How can a woman swallow that amont of cocaine.... people sure are out of control nowadays.

The lure of money is so powerful that some people are not able to weigh the consequences of their action. They only see the chance of making money, however, they give no consideration to what may happen if they are caught. I have heard some of these women say that they did it to feed their children, however, consider if you are caught, your children will be left to the mercy of others. While their mother helplessly languishes in jail. There is also the danger of the drugs transporters being harmed. There have been incidences of drug mules being cut open  to extract the drugs and their body dumped when they were unable to normally pass it out.
Therefore being a drug mule can be a very dangerous exercise in more ways than one. Potential drug mules should take note of this.

Why only  the female mules are asked to Swallow ? 

the male mule gets to strap around body !

btw ..Can Guyana people speak Irish  :-\
