FREEPORT – Two million dollars worth of cocaine was found hidden in a container that arrived from Peru at the Freeport Container Port on Friday.
Acting on a tip, a team of officers from the Grand Bahama Drug Enforcement Unit, Bahamas Customs and Freeport Container Port security, searched a 20-foot container holding a shipment of leather goods from Callao, Peru.
During the search, they discovered and seized 60 kilos of cocaine in the container, which was bound for Barcelona, Spain.
No arrests were made.
However, the DEU has launched an investigation to determine how the cocaine was placed in the container and to identify those responsible.
