A Toronto woman who faked pregnancy to try to smuggle 2
kilograms of cocaine was arrested yesterday at Bogota airport by Colombian
police.
Col. Esteban Arias says 28-year-old Tabitha Leah Ritchie was
stopped while trying to board an Air Canada flight in Bogota after an inspector
noted that her belly was unusually cold and hard.
He says police discovered a false belly made of latex, taped
to her body and they found 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of cocaine.
Police say Ritchie arrived in Colombia on Aug. 6 and he
identified her as a social worker.
The Canadian Embassy did not respond to requests for
details.
