Aldi staff find $17m worth of cocaine under bananas

Aldi staff in Berlin got a shock when they discovered a stash of cocaine hidden under a delivery of bananas for the second time in two years.

386 kilograms with a street value of $17 million (over £11 million) was discovered concealed beneath boxes of bananas in 14 Aldi stores across the German city, making this the largest amount of cocaine ever seized in the German capital.

Police spokesman Stefan Redlich told AFP: ”Apparently there was a logistical mistake somewhere along the line.”
