Undercover Drug Bust Exposed
Bouncers pounced as an Irish woman tried to sneak 100 ecstasy tablets into an Ibiza nightclub in her bra.
The 23-year-old tourist was on her way into the Space nightclub in Playa d'en Bossa, just outside Ibiza town with seven of her friends when the drugs were discovered.
The doorman asked the woman if she was carrying any drugs and to his surprise she pulled a bag of pills out of her bra.
The bouncer then confiscated the tablets and called the Civil Guard.
It is understood that the woman was really surprised by this because she claimed that she didn't know it was a serious crime to carry drugs on the party island.
"The doorman asked her if she was carrying any drugs and she simply put her hand inside her bra and pulled out a big bag of pills."
"The girl claimed she did not know it was a serious crime to carry drugs in Ibiza," said a police spokesman.
