A woman has been caught smuggling 1.7kg of cocaine in her breast implants.

The 48-year-old Venezuelan woman was pulled aside by Spanish customs officials in Madrid"s Adolfo Suarez Airport.

She had arrived in the country on a flight from Columbia"s capital, Bogotá, and was picked out by customs officers because she was acting in a nervous manner.

Her luggage was checked and found clean but customs decided a body search was required.

It was at this point she broke down confessing the fact she was carrying a large amount of cocaine in her breasts.

According to the Daily Mirror, doctors removed the breast implants which contained cocaine with a street value of around $120,000.

Spain is the main point of entry of drugs into Europe from Latin America. According to officials 495kg of cocaine was confiscated at the airport between January 1 and July 15 of this year.
