Police did not identify the discount supermarket chain. However, they said the cocaine was found at stores in several cities across the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Employees at a discount supermarket chain in Germany found 95 kilograms (210 pounds) of cocaine stashed inside crates of bananas, police announced on Monday.

The drugs are reported to have a street value of around €7 million ($7.8 million).

Police did not name the supermarket in question, but said the drugs turned up in several cities around the western state of North-Rhine Westphalia.

    Somewhere in Europe, there is a very disappointed drug dealer staring at a number of boxes that contain nothing but delicious, healthful South American bananas.

    I’m guessing the store employees originally uncovered 100 kgs of cocaine

      If I found money I’d take it. But wtf would I even do with all that cocaine? I have no idea who I would sell that much to without getting arrested or killed. I would just turn it in and ask for a reward

        People seem to super enjoy doing the cocaine itself!

    Something like this happened at a fruit distributor in the Netherlands and they called the cops. Arrests where made but due to a fuckup during trial a full list of the fruit companies employees where left in a file that went to the defence. One lawyer refused to remove it and several years of threats and attacks on the fruit distributors personell followed.
