X-Ray Reveals 8-Year-Old Boy in Suitcase

Officials in the Spanish territory of Ceuta in North Africa found an 8-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast packed into a pink suitcase on Friday when it traveled through a routine X-ray scanner at the country’s border crossing. Authorities found the boy when they stopped a suspicious acting 19-year-old woman carrying the suitcase. She was later detained. The boy’s father, who is a resident of Spain’s Canary Islands, was also arrested when he attempted to cross the border hours later. He was trying to reunite with his son, but claimed he wasn’t aware of how the boy was traveling.
