In a joint National Guard (GN) Anti-Drugs Command-US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) raid, a small narco-mule ring has been broken up in Valencia (Carabobo).

A GN spokesman says three ladies are under arrest for trafficking heroin to Miami.

Aida Margarita Mejias and small son were arrested as they attempted to board a flight to Miami.

Mejias and her son had swallowed 135 phials of heroin and narcotic control agents say the other ladies used their children in the same way.
