Two pilots were detained on the runway with almost half a ton of cocaine – photo

One of them already has a conviction for drug trafficking.

In Brazil, two pilots were detained on the runway with almost half a ton of cocaine in the plane.

This is reported by Need To Know.

Footage taken from a police helicopter shows the light aircraft taxiing onto the runway after landing. As the helicopter descends, the pilots park their aircraft and climb out through the wing. They put their hands on their heads as the helicopter lands. An officer jumps out and aims his gun at them as they lie on their stomachs.

A second cop comes into view and makes sure the suspects don't move while the first cop searches their pockets. The police detained the suspects at the scene of the crime until more law enforcement officers arrived.
