The forms and means traffickers use to transport cocaine from Latin America to Europe, but also in distribution within the old continent, are different.
We're used to seeing tons hidden inside bananas, cargoes of seafood, or cocaine melted in palm oil, but in the Netherlands, police have discovered an unusual method of transporting drugs.
€13 million worth of cocaine was found hidden inside two coffins during a raid near Numansdorp, in the province of South Holland on December 13.
The police discovered 250 kilograms of cocaine and charged a 30-year-old man from Rotterdam with the load.
The National Expertise and Operations Unit of the Dutch Police said in a statement that the suspect "was driving a van with French license plates on the highway near Numansdorp and displayed suspicious behavior while driving."
When they stopped the driver and demanded an explanation, he claimed to be transporting two coffins, telling police they contained dead bodies.
"Our colleagues then went to a company that conducts funeral services to verify. There it was discovered that the coffins contained sports bags with more than 250 kilograms of cocaine, with a street value of 13 million euros. The man has been arrested and the drugs have been destroyed," the Dutch police confirmed. (A2 Televizion)
