Drug smugglers lost out on a shipment of cocaine hidden in crates of bananas after it was delivered to Czech supermarkets before it could be intercepted in Germany.
The entire haul was eventually seized by cops when supermarket workers at different stores across the country started discovering the powder-filled packages in the banana crates.
Footage obtained from the Czech police shows a police officer and sniffer dog inspecting a shipment of several crates of bananas, which had reportedly originated in Colombia.
The drugs, delivered as blocks of pressed cocaine with a total weight of 1,851 pounds and with a street value of approximately $83 million, had transited via the German port of Hamburg, the largest port in Europe after Rotterdam in the Netherlands, before arriving in the Czech Republic.
