Woman busted smuggling teen refugee inside suitcase

Authorities stopped the 22-year-old woman last week at a border crossing into Ceuta, one of two Spanish enclaves in North Africa, from neighboring Morocco.

A 19-year-old migrant from Gabon was found concealed inside. The man was immediately offered medical attention due to the lack of oxygen inside the compact travel bag, Spain's Civil Guard said in a statement.

Border control had become suspicious of the woman after they noticed she was carrying her luggage on top of a trolley, authorities added.

Spanish officials said the woman showed an 'evasive attitude while going through the established controls and nervousness' while speaking to agents.

Ceuta, along with the province of Melilla to the east, are Europe's only land borders in Africa. Both enclaves have long been popular transit points for hundreds of sub-Saharan African migrants trying to cross the sea at the narrow point south of Spain.

Migrant crisis: 2016 is the deadliest year for Med crossings

Desperate attempts

This creative but dangerous method of concealment is one of several desperate approaches to illegal smuggling that the Spanish Civil Guard has faced in the past week on the Ceuta border.

Two migrants -- a man and a woman -- from Guinea were also rescued Monday after authorities discovered them hidden inside the dashboard and the backseat of a car, according to the Spanish Civil Guard.

The migrants were 20 and 24 years old, according to officials. The Moroccan man driving the vehicle, a Volkswagen Golf, was arrested. The car had been stolen in Barcelona in 2015 and had fake Moroccan plates and registration documents, the statement added.

Meanwhile, at least 800 African migrants tried to storm a border fence into Ceuta from Morocco on New Year's Day, according to the Spanish and Moroccan governments, Reuters reported.

Most of the migrants were prevented from entering Spanish territory. A handful of migrants scaled the six-meter high barbed wire fence, but were eventually helped down by cranes, Reuters reported. Dozens of Moroccan security forces were injured in the incident, along with five Spanish police officers.
