The National Police have arrested a 38-year-old woman in Telde, in Gran Canaria, after she was caught trying to smuggle drugs into the Las Palmas II prison, when she an ‘intimate’ date with her partner who was inside serving a sentence.
Police were tipped off that the woman was acting as a drug mule with capsules of hashish and heroin inserted in her private parts, that would be passed to her partner during their intimate meeting as this is the only time the couple can meet without a guard present.

During the search they found that she was concealing 43 grams of heroin, divided into 26 packages containing 430 doses; 97 grams of hashish in 50 wrappers, as well as a Nokia mobile phone and smoking papers.
The woman, who already has a police record, was duly arrested and prevented from seeing her partner, and charged with drug trafficking before being passed to the judicial authorities for sentencing.
