Germany - $8.2 Million in Drugs Found Among Fruit - NYTimes.com Supermarket employees in Berlin and Brandenburg State were stunned when they started unpacking banana boxes and found hundreds of pounds of cocaine, worth about $8.2 million, the police said Tuesday. Seven crates unloaded on Monday contained an estimated 309 pounds of cocaine, the second-largest drug find in Berlin in 35 years, the police said. The crates were part of a shipment of more than 1,100 boxes from Colombia to a fruit wholesaler in Berlin. Olaf Schremm, a senior police officer, told reporters that drug smugglers had probably made a "logistical error."
