Police seize cocaine worth PLN 105 million

On Saturday Polish police seized 178 kilograms of cocaine originating from Colombia worth PLN 105 million, said Mariusz Mrozek, a spokesman for the Warsaw police. The drugs were hidden between bananas on a truck that was coming from Belgium. According to Mrozek, it might have been an attempt to test a new cocaine-smuggling route.  Poland is one of the links in the chain. Mrozek said that the cocaine was 90 percent pure. Considering that drugs sold on the market are 10-20 percent pure, more than 500 kilograms of cocaine could have entered the market.
