An 8 year old boy was discovered inside a suitcase during a routine scanner check in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave that borders Morroco. A 19 year old girl attempted to bring the child from the Ivory Coast to Spain at the request of the child’s father. A spokesman for the Civil Guard police force said that the teenager took the suitcase through a pedestrian crossing from Morocco into the small Spanish-governed territory of Ceuta on Thursday.
“When they put the suitcase through the scanner, the operator noticed something strange, which seemed to be a person inside the case,” he told AFP. Spanish news agency, Efe, said the boy’s father, who resides in the Canary Islands, had traveled back to Ivory Coast to meet his son. The father then reportedly paid the Moroccan courier to smuggle his son in the case. A police spokesman told the newspaper, “She seemed to hesitate and it looked as though she didn’t want to come through the border.”
