Woman arrested with 'cocaine bump'

Bogota: Colombian police say they have arrested a Toronto woman who simulated pregnancy to try to smuggle cocaine. Col. Esteban Arias says 28-year-old Tabitha Leah Ritchie was stopped while trying to board an Air Canada flight in Bogota after an inspector noted that her belly was unusually cold and hard. Police discovered a false belly made of latex taped to her body and they found 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of cocaine. Police say Ritchie arrived in Colombia on August 6 and he identified her as a social worker.
