A woman was caught with more than six pounds of cocaine hidden inside Pokémon and Stitch soft toys.
The discovery came during a routine check of a coach on a shopping tour.
Officers were inspecting luggage when their sniffer dog went straight to one passenger’s bags.

Alerted by the dog, they searched the bags and found over half a dozen blanket-stuffed toys with zippers.
Each toy felt unusually heavy.
When opened, the officers found nine tightly wrapped white blocks hidden among the blankets.
Field tests confirmed the substance was cocaine, as reported by Need To Know.
The bust took place on National Route 38 near Huacra, in Tucumán Province, Argentina. The coach was headed for Mendoza Province.
In total, 2.85kg (6lb 5oz) of cocaine was seized from the passenger, a Bolivian woman whose name and age were not released.
The Argentine National Gendarmerie said on Wednesday (26 Nov): “Federal Court No. 1 of Tucumán ordered the arrest of the woman, along with the seizure of the drugs and all items of interest for the investigation.”
