"Record Cocaine Seizures: Massive Drug Busts in Banana Shipments"

British authorities discovered a record-breaking 5.7 tons of cocaine hidden in a shipment of bananas at the port of Southampton, with an estimated street value of $568 million. The National Crime Agency believes the drugs were destined for Hamburg, Germany, and would likely have made their way back to the U.K. criminal market. This seizure represents a significant blow to international organized crime cartels, and authorities are working with international partners to identify the criminal networks involved. The incident follows a trend of cocaine being concealed in banana shipments throughout Europe, with record amounts of cocaine being seized in recent years.
