A woman has been arrested in Argentina for allegedly trying to smuggle four kilos of drugs in a fake baby bump.

Police said they discovered she was faking her pregnancy after they found a man she was travelling with on a long-distance coach carrying a small amount of marijuana in a black bag. 

The coach was heading to the Patagonian city of Santa Oliva.

According to Police, the pair were arrested at a police checkpoint in an area known as Valle de Uco near Mendoza close to Argentina's border with Chile.

Argentina's Minister for Security Patricia Bullrich tweeted photos of the bust, saying: 'She made a belly out of paste, hid 15 cannabis bricks inside it and faked a pregnancy before trying to take it from Mendoza to Santa Cruz.
