2014-01-07 1

Boxes filled with bananas and cocaine have been delivered to five Berlin supermarkets in what police are calling a “logistical error” by drug smugglers.

Staff discovered the containers, worth an estimated six million euros, with a total of 140 kg of cocaine shortly before the fruit went on sale.

Police say it is the largest discovery of cocaine in Berlin in about 15 years.
