Three United Nations employees have been arrested on suspicion of trying to smuggle cocaine across the Jordanian border into Israel by liquefying the drug and disguising it as a perfume-making component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspects, who work for the UN in Syria, were apprehended on Sunday near Beit She\u2019an as they tried to enter Israel at the Jordan River Border Crossing, according to a joint statement by police and the Israel Tax Authority. Inspectors detected what they believed to be liquid cocaine in perfume-making kits that the UN workers were allegedly trying to bring into the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smugglers often dissolve cocaine into a liquid form to disguise the drug, putting it in containers for such products as liquor or perfume, then convert it back to powder at their destination. A drug-sniffing dog helped identify the alleged cocaine in Sunday\u2019s case. The Israel Defense Forces have thwarted 30 drug-smuggling attempts so far this year amid rising cocaine use in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three UN employees weren\u2019t identified. They work on the Syrian border with Israel, according to Israeli authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UN staffers around the world have been involved in crimes ranging from rape to drug trafficking. A former UN employee was sentenced last year to 15 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting at least 13 women in the US and Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
