trapper

trapper
 n.— «Towne said women—also known as trappers—brought in packaged and unpackaged drugs from the Chicago area by hiding the substances on their bodies. The trappers then gave the drugs to the dealers to sell. By this means, drugs and money were not transported by the same person.» —“Another arrest made in massive drug conspiracy” by Jo Ann Hustis Morris Daily Herald (Illinois) Apr. 8, 2008.
