A Scottish man has been remanded in custody in Colombia after he was caught allegedly attempting to traffic illegal drugs into Europe.
Ricky Grant Courage, who is reported to be from Aberdeen, was arrested on September 29th after a canine unit operating within the airport was alerted to his bag.
Colombia’s Public Prosecution Service reported the Scot was detained after it was discovered he was carrying 1,976 grams of cocaine in his luggage.
A total of six packages wrapped in black plastic were allegedly found among the personal belongings in the bag which had already been checked in for a flight to Scotland.
A statement from the prosecutor’s office said: “The tourist apparently intended to leave the country for Europe with drugs in his luggage.”
