A WHEELCHAIR-BOUND passenger with a leg cast made entirely of cocaine has been arrested in Barcelona Airport.
The 66-year-old man, flying from Santiago, Chile, also had cocaine stashed in six cans of beer and two folding stools in his luggage.
Barcelona customs confiscated nearly 5kg of the drug in total.
Police believe the man, or his accomplices, may have broken the leg on purpose so as not to arouse the suspicions of customs officials.
Spain is the primary entry point for cocaine into Europe and is the largest consumer of the drug in the European Union.
