A TikToker looked pretty baffled when police found nearly 3 kg of cocaine in the structure of his suitcase.
Modour Adams was found at Jorge Chavez International Airport on 30 September trying to smuggle drugs into the UK, a court statement from the Superior Court of Justice of Callao says.
The 25-year-old appeared visibly in disbelief when airport police showed him how much cocaine was in his suitcase.

The British TikToker was travelling in Peru when the police pulled him to one side and revealed to him the three quite large bags of white powder, which could be seen in and amongst the wooden slats.
In the video, the police officer, who is holding a swab, says: "We can observe a white substance with the chemical reagent, as we can observe it turns turquoise which indicates that it is cocaine, okay?”
He then lifts up the bottom of the suitcase to reveal the drugs, and Adams’ jaw drops to the floor.
Adams can also be seen with his head in his hands as the officer shakes out the bags on a table.

There’s one thing for sure, he certainly needs some kind of award for his acting because those facial expressions were on point.
He had been attempting to fly to London, with suitcase being initially destined for Paris before arriving in the UK, but got searched before he could board the airplane.
Reports also suggest that the amount of drugs was worth an estimated £300,000, Sky News said.

He has now been sentenced and jailed for six years and eight months in a Peruvian prison.
At the hearing, he plead guilty to the drug smuggling charge and was also fined around £1,500.
Adams has 11,000 followers on Instagram, where he had been previously posting pictures from his travels in Peru.
The account even shows him on the famous mountain of Machu Picchu four weeks prior.

And before his trip to Peru, he was also pictured in Athens, Greece, Los Angeles in California, London and Spain.
Peru's Supreme Court wrote in a statement, which was also accompanied by a photoshopped image of the influencer behind bars, on Twitter that Adams had been jailed for coordinating the shipment of 'about three kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride' to London.
"The sentence was handed down in less than 24 hours after the defendant pleaded responsible for the charged crime." they added.
