Jerusalem.- Three UN workers were arrested by Israeli authorities on the Jordanian border for allegedly smuggling liquid cocaine disguised as perfume, the Israeli Police reported on Sunday.
“UN workers arrived at the Jordan-Israel border crossing, and a routine inspection by authorities at the border crossing raised suspicions regarding passengers’ perfume-making kits,” a police statement said.
“The kits were subjected to careful examination, which also included a test with trained dogs. Reasonable suspicion arose from the examination that it was liquid cocaine,” the statement added.
The three UN workers were taken to the Northern District Police for questioning.
