Stop! Border Control: Latin America

A globetrotting retiree hides 25kg of ecstasy. A metal ornament smuggles liquid cocaine. Desperate women risk all at Colombia's tense border crossings.

Fake documents, drug-sniffing dogs, phone smuggling, hidden cash, and illegal vehicle exports — border agents crack down across South America.

Migrants, gangs, and smugglers: from Chiapas to Santiago, hidden drugs, criminal networks, and a corpse on a riverbank trigger high alert at Latin America's borders.

Thermal cameras, body-packed drugs, and hidden cash: border agents stop crime across South America, from mined deserts to busy airports and cargo hubs.

Dogs sniff out drugs in cosmetics, nuns carry hidden cash, and smugglers use cars, bags, and wallets to cross borders with illegal goods — even during a pandemic.

From Mexico’s tense northern border to hidden guns in Brazil, drug toys in Colombia, and undeclared cash in Chile—smugglers face tough crackdowns across the continent.
