A drug leader was arrested after his wife shared pictures of their holiday on social media. Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba, also known as "Shock," was wanted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for shipping cocaine from Costa Rica. He was caught in London in December after his wife, Estefania McDonald Rodriguez, posted pictures of their trip.

Rodriguez shared photos of herself at famous places like the Eiffel Tower and the Trevi Fountain. The DEA noticed the pictures and figured out where Grijalba was. This helped them track him down.
The couple had been to Paris, Rome, Venice, and Japan. When Rodriguez posted more pictures, the DEA used the details to find Grijalba's location.
Grijalba was arrested near London Bridge with help from the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA). He was taken into custody on December 29 after Costa Rican authorities asked for his arrest. Randall Zuniga, head of Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Agency, confirmed the arrest and said Grijalba was caught at an airport.
Zuniga said, "Nicaraguan-born Costa Rican Luis Manuel Picado Grijalba, known as 'Shock,' was arrested at London airport with help from the DEA." He also said Grijalba would be sent to the U.S. to face charges for smuggling cocaine from Costa Rica.
