$21 mill of cocaine delivered to ALDI in banana boxes

In Berlin, over $21 million worth of cocaine has been found in boxes of bananas delivered to ALDI supermarkets, police say.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, staff working at 14 of the discount supermarkets in and around Berlin reported the stashes of narcotics tucked in the produce deliveries from Colombia, which police believe ended up at the stores by accident on Monday.

"Apparently there was a logistical mistake somewhere along the line," police spokesman Stefan Redlich told AFP, adding that investigators were now trying to determine their intended destination.

He said the 386kg shipment was the biggest single cocaine find in the history of the German capital.

But it’s not the first time. In January, over $7 million worth of cocaine was discovered by staff, wrapped up between bananas as they unpacked the fruit.
