The bra used to smuggle £100,000 of cocaine into Britain
When a slim but busty woman was stopped as she tried to enter Britain, Customs officers discovered a new item of underwear - the Plunderbra.
With secret pouches placed in each cup, up to £50,000 worth of cocaine can be concealed as traffickers seek ever more inventive ways of smuggling drugs.
It is discovered only if the trafficker is strip-searched or asked to go through a scanner.
Pictures of the modified lingerie show the lengths to which traffickers will go to bring cocaine into Britain from West Africa, in particular Ghana.
Other examples revealed yesterday include hollowed-out coat hangers, which can each contain £5,000 worth of cocaine, converted buttons, curtain beads, shoes and suitcases.
Tins of fruit juice, rum bottles and toiletries are also used - as are clothes which have been soaked in the drug.
Without doubt the most dangerous technique involves the trafficker swallowing vast quantities of cocaine to avoid detection.
One recent case involved a drugs mule from Nigeria consuming 100 plastic bags shaped like cocktail sausages, each containing 12 grams of cocaine with a total street value of £60,000.
