Police in Berlin have found 140kg of cocaine hidden in banana boxes which were sent to a supermarket in an apparent mistake by traffickers, German media reported.
Cocaine valued at 6m euros ($8.2m) was found in fruit sent to five branches of supermarket Aldi-Nord in and around the German capital, police said.
The drugs are believed to have arrived by sea in Hamburg from Colombia, from where they were shipped by lorry.
Smugglers probably made a “logistical error”, a police spokesman said.
