The officer then touched the belly and felt it was cold and hard during a frisking at El Dorado international air
port.
Police discovered a false belly made of latex taped to her body as well as 2kg of cocaine inside, said Colonel Esteban Arias Melo.
When an anti-drugs inspector asked how long she had been pregnant, Ritchie responded seven months.
He said: "The Canadian citizen tried to fool public security forces by faking a pregnancy."
If convicted for drug trafficking, 28-year-old Ritchie, who arrived in Colombia on August 6, could face up to eight years in prison.
