Watch | Colombian woman arrested with 40,000 US dollars hidden inside her body

Colombian police arrested a woman who tried to enter the country with almost US dollars 40,000 hidden inside her body. Authorities said on Wednesday that the woman was arrested as she arrived on a flight from Mexico. The woman, who was hiding the dollars in her stomach and vagina, is now receiving medical treatment and so far has expelled 64 latex-covered capsules containing five US dollars 100 bills each. Police described her as a 39-year-old Colombian fashion designer. Officials say cash seizures at Bogota's airport this year have quadrupled to about US dollars 500 million.
