A woman from Peru has been nabbed for allegedly smuggling drugs using sex toys by hiding them in her underwear. The 42-year-old unnamed woman was arrested in Bali for allegedly smuggling cocaine into the Indonesian resort island. Authorities said she arrived at Bali’s international airport from Qatar on 12 August when authorities became suspicious.
