Drugs Hidden in Underwear

Drug control officers have detained a lawyer who tried to sneak heroin, marijuana and hashish into a Moscow pretrial detention center in her underwear, Itar-Tass reported Wednesday.

Neither the lawyer nor the detention center were identified in the report.

The woman on Tuesday hid 3.5 grams of heroin, 3 grams of marijuana and 28 grams of hashish in bundles in her underwear using a "cunning method," Sergei Tsygankov, a Federal Drug Control Service spokesman told Itar-Tass, without elaborating.
