Woman charged after trying to smuggle cocaine and heroin in sports bra

A 38-year-old woman tried to smuggle drugs by hiding them in her sports bra. The seized drugs have a street value of 6 million kronor (about $570,000), according to Swedish Customs. The woman is now charged with aggravated drug smuggling.

More than seven kilograms of drugs - both cocaine and heroin - were found in the woman's clothes and luggage.

"It is not entirely unusual to try to smuggle drugs, but smuggling them in a sports bra is unusual," says Marcel Gabara, head of the investigation hotline at Swedish Customs' Criminal Division South, in a press release.

The trial begins in two weeks. If convicted, the woman faces several years in prison.
