Cocaine dealers ship wrong banana boxes
A stunned supermarket saleswoman stumbled upon 28 kilograms of cocaine worth over a million euros ($A2m) while unpacking boxes of bananas in southern Germany, police said on Friday.
The crates of fruit, flown in from Colombia and imported into Germany via the Belgian port of Antwerp, were probably mixed up when they were being loaded onto the delivery trucks, Ludwig Waldinger from the Bavarian police told AFP.
"Some dealers must have picked up the wrong boxes," he told AFP, adding that he would like to see the look on the faces of the drug dealers when they try to get their fix from the nutritious snack.
The 26-year-old shop assistant found the 26 packets of cocaine on Wednesday morning and immediately alerted the police, who are currently investigating the apparent blunder.
