Polish Police bust Biggest cocaine smugglers

Poland

The polish police has made a number of arrests in the country’s biggest ever cocaine drug bust.

Police spokesman Mariusz Mrozek says they seized 178kg of pure cocaine all hidden in boxes full of bananas in a truck just outside Warsaw.
Mrozek says the drug haul which came from Colombia is valued at over 26 million Eros.

The spokesman added that even police dogs found it hard to find the cocaine.
Footage filmed after the seizure shows police searching through crates of fruit, revealing green bags containing shrink-wrapped blocks of white powder.

Police say it is one of the largest shipments of drugs captured on Polish territory.

The 40-year-old driver who transported the load from Belgium to a fruit and vegetable market at Bronisze has been detained.
