HOW DRUG TRAFFICKERS GET CREATIVE AT SEA

 Drug traffickers engage in a creative game of hide and seek with coast guards and other security forces that board their ships at sea.


Rubén Navarrete, a Mexican Navy captain based in the western state of Michoacán, told Televisa News last November that those dedicated to maritime smuggling could only be restricted by one thing: their own imagination. A spate of recent seizures prove his point as traffickers have been getting more inventive with hiding places both above and below deck.

InSight Crime looks at some of the most popular and creative ways narcotics have been concealed aboard ships over the years and how this continues to evolve.
