A 42-year-old woman was arrested on Saturday after attempting to smuggle drugs into the Caldas da Rainha Prison Facility in the Leiria district.
“During access control, which was taking place during visiting hours, a prison guard detected a set of packages concealed inside the woman’s mouth, raising suspicions about their content and immediately triggering the involvement of the Public Security Police [PSP],” read a statement from this authority, received by Notícias ao Minuto this Wednesday.
The same source confirmed through forensic examination that it was “an illicit substance (0.92 grams of cocaine) corresponding to approximately five individual doses of cocaine, resulting in the woman’s immediate arrest.”
According to Cometlis, the woman has no criminal record. “She was notified to appear before the judicial authority, which was fulfilled, and the process will proceed in its normal course,” explained the PSP.
