Burundanga is a drug or chemical substance that criminals put on papers or objects to incapacitate victims.

(In many Latin American countries, this term refers to scopolamine, a drug used to leave victims conscious but submissive during robberies.)

1. My daughter was the victim of an attempted robbery using burundanga. 2. At the store, a lady handed me a paper laced with burundanga: she wanted to rob me.
