Amsterdam: Two dogs used to smuggle cocaine became ill when the packages of drugs inside their stomachs burst during a flight from Columbia, Dutch police said today.
Police at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport said the labradors each had two kg of cocaine surgically attached in their stomachs. During a stopover at Schiphol on the way to Britain, the labradors were taken to a veterinarian.
"The veterinarian initially gave them medication but they only got worse. Then surgery was performed and the drugs were discovered," a police spokesman said.
He said an investigation by Dutch and British authorities resulted in the arrest of seven people in Britain last week.
