 A recent story in the local online press reports that a 92 year old woman, who was en route to Tenerife, was arrested at Madrid-Barajas Airport with 4.3 kilos of cocaine concealed about her person in various packages. The attitude of the wheelchair-bound nonagenarian passenger raised suspicion with the Guardia Civil, who carried out an inspection finding the drug. Her travelling companion, a 44 year old woman of Uruguayan nationality, tried to make "a crazy escape" from the airport, but was also detained.
