Re: So these two Irish girls in Peru
Two young women have been arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling in Peru, local police say.
Michaella McCollum Connolly, 20, from Belfast and Scot Melissa Reid, 19, are each alleged to have been carrying almost 6kg of cocaine in their luggage.
They were stopped and searched at the capital Lima's international airport on Tuesday.
They had been due to fly to Madrid, then onto Majorca, according to Peru's National Police Force website.
A statement on the site said the cocaine had been hidden inside packages of food.
It had an estimated street value of about £1.5m (1.7m euros).
The two women were stopped as they tried to pass through the Air Europa counter at Jorge Chavez airport.
Ms Connolly had earlier been reported missing in Ibiza after failing to contact her family for several days.
The photography student had gone to the Ibizan town of San Antonio in June to look for work as a dancer or a nightclub hostess.
After hearing nothing from her for 12 days, her family appealed on Facebook and other social media websites for any information of her whereabouts.
The appeal was backed by several Irish sport stars. Her family said she would usually be in touch every couple of days.
Ms Connolly holds an Irish passport. Ms Reid is from Lenzie near Glasgow.
The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed it is providing consular assistance to Ms Connolly's family.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London said: "We are aware of the arrest of a British national in Peru this week and are providing consular assistance to the family."
Peru is one of the world's top three cocaine producers, alongside Colombia and Bolivia.

Silly, stupid and guilty as sin. Another waste of 2 lives and unimaginable pain for their families. Sad.

They got caught in Peru smuggling several kilos of cocaine, they were on the way to Madrid having spent most of the summer in Ibiza.
They are looking at 20yrs

Re: So these two Irish girls in Peru
Very sorry for their grave mistake of judgement but they are adults and they will pay the penance by watching their prime years get thrown away whilst they rot in a shit-hole in Peru. Have these prats not watched Banged Up Abroad?

Load of bollocks, they say they are forced at gunpoint, if this was the case then why did they no alert somebody as soon as they were in the safety of the airport and then go and seek help from the British consulate as I would have done?
They were sold a story, tempted by the easy money and they got caught. Anyone silly enough to believe their story is as silly as them for doing what they did. It's a shame but self-inflicted so fuck them.
