Employee Found Over 1.4 million Euro Worth Of Cocaine Hidden In The Bananas

Over €1.4 million worth of Costa Rican cocaine has been found in a crate of bananas by a Tesco worker in England.

Police were called to the supermarket in Wokingham, Berkshire last week and found bags weighing 1kg each inside the box. The box was wrapped with red tape and this was presumably so smugglers could distinguish it from the others.

A source told the Mirror: ‘The young man spotted the box with red tape and decided to take a closer look. He opened the box and saw the packets underneath the bananas. He was understandably shocked. You don’t need to be a genius to know what it is.’

Thames Valley Police confirmed the find, and said that ‘no arrests have been made’.

‘We are helping police with their investigations,’ a Tesco spokesman said.
