Prosecutors say police uncovered 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) of cocaine concealed inside plastic pineapples this week. Fruit packers called the police after discovering the strange-looking fruit among a shipment of real pineapples on Monday night. When police cut into the pineapples, they discovered packages of cocaine stuffed inside. Spokeswoman Marianne Goet said Wednesday the shipment has a street value of euro 25 million ($34 million).
