Armenians face 15 years for smuggling drugs in underwear

Three Armenian men face up to 15 years in jail after they were caught at Warsaw's Chopin airport with 770 grams of cocaine in their underwear, officials have said.

According to police, the men, aged 23, 35 and 44, were travelling from Barcelona to Yerevan.

Border guards saw the men acting suspiciously in the transit area of Warsaw's airport while they waited for their flight to the Armenian capital.

As they approached passport control they were tested for drugs. One of the men was found with 200-300 grams of cocaine.

After the other men were searched, a total of four packets were found in their underwear. Tests showed the packets contained high-quality cocaine.
