4,000 kilos cocaine seized at Rotterdam port
The cocaine was imported from Costa Rica and arrived in Rotterdam on the same day. The Customs officers discovered the drugs during a routine check. A total of about 3,780 packages with a gross weight of 4,252 kilograms were hidden in between the pallets of fruit.
The container was intended for a company in Westland, but would eventually end up in a storage and transshipment company in Barendrecht, according to the Prosecutor.
The HARC-team – a joint venture between Customs, FIOD and the Seaport Police – is investigating the smuggling. No arrests were made so far.
