Colombian cops seize cocaine-stuffed cookies bound for Barcelona, SPAIN
http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=29&art_id=nw2...
Bogota - The biscuits looked perfect but Colombian sniffer dogs smelled something that was just not right in the Barcelona-bound shipment: cocaine.
Counter-narcotics police said in a statement on Saturday that a total of 5kg of the drug had been found concealed in 10 packets of biscuits.
Not your average biscuit, "the cream was taken out of the cookies and replaced with compressed bleached cocaine to avoid suspicion from counter-narcotics units", they said.
Colombia is the world's biggest producer of cocaine, making an estimated 430 tons in 2009 - half of global production - according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
