Record coke find in truck: police dogs have the right nose
La Paz (Bolivia) - Police in Bolivia checked a truck on its way to Europe. The goods were supposed to be soy flour, but suddenly the sniffer dogs raised the alarm!
Following a tip-off from an anonymous person, the special investigators of the Bolivian anti-drug unit "FELCN" (La Fuerza Especial de Lucha Contra el Narcotráfico) stopped a semi-trailer truck.
According to reports from BILD, the officers noticed that the driver, Benito F. (43), was reacting increasingly nervously to the investigators' questions.
His delivery, which according to him was several tons of soy flour, was actually supposed to be on its way to Europe for export. But the pungent smell of ammonia blew the lie wide open.
The entire cargo of the truck, a total of 21.6 tons, consisted of pure cocaine!
On the black market in Europe, the drugs would be worth an incredible two billion euros.
Record amount of drugs was burned
In addition to the driver of the drug truck, the officers were also able to arrest the managing director of an export company (Kalumagro SRL) and alleged mastermind, Rafael M. (53).
The drugs were burned at a secret location by the "FELCN" commando.
