Colombia’s youngest drug mule captured as search for father intensifies

An 11-year-old girl, who was captured hiding more than 100 capsules (weighing 500g) of drugs in her stomach, has had the substance surgically removed in Cali (west Colombia).

The unnamed girl is recovering in hospital under armed guard following the operation as police search for her father who rushed the youngster to hospital when she became unwell and is thought to be behind it.

Cali police commander, Hoover Penilla said: “She is out of surgery after 104 capsules were removed, which at the moment are being tested to determine what illegal drug it was. All the signs suggest that … she was being used in this twisted way by adults”.
