Venezuelan jails have banned visitors from bringing in suitcases – after guards busted a contortionist criminal trying to escape.
Convicted murderer Gavinson Garcia – who stands at just 5ft 3ins – folded himself into the bag brought to Yare II prison in Caracas by his girlfriend Susana Blanco on Sunday.
But their plan was foiled when guards spotted Blanco, 22, struggling to move the wheeled luggage as she walked towards the prison gates.
Unzipping the case, they found a semi-naked Garcia curled up inside, with his head between his knees, reports El Nuevo Herald.
Lieutenant Colonel Rafael Rodriguez said Blanco had received around $1,100 for her part in the plot.
Garcia is also believed to have paid fellow prisoners around $3,175 to help him escape.
