It seems like drug smugglers are gradually becoming more creative. Just days ago, cocaine was found hidden inside a bunch of fake pineapples, and those fruit were again brilliantly buried amid real pineapples shipped into Netherlands.
The police had uncovered US$34 million worth of cocaine in plastic pineapples, says AP. Fruit packers who were unloading a consignment of pineapples found the loot, and while the Dutch police are pretty lenient with soft drug use, they don’t tolerate hard drugs like cocaine and heroin. Still, there were no immediate arrests, and the country from which the pineapples came wasn’t revealed either.
Another act that reeks of creativity happened last month, where custom officials intercepted four kilograms of cocaine smuggled among 20,000 roses around Valentine’s Day.
Well, creativity is one thing. Being able to pull it off without getting caught is still really the whole point. And shipping managers out there, you may want to keep an eye on your goods and make sure that everything is as real (and good) as it gets.

Maybe pineapples aren't strong-smelling enough to mask the drugs. Should've used durians, instead.
Really entertaining read.
