Class A drugs ‘found in box of bananas at Tesco store’

There must be a rather raging drug dealer somewhere missing at least £600,000 of Class A drugs which was stumbled across by supermarket worker in bananas containers in Tesco in Wokingham, Berkshire.

They believe the packages contain Class A drugs.

It’s reported the man found five bags of white powder that weigh 1kg each in a box marked with red tape – possibly by smugglers to deliberately distinguish the crate from several others. “No arrests have been made”.

A Tesco spokesperson said the company was ‘helping police with their investigations.’.

More than 250,000 boxes of bananas are imported every week by Tesco from the Americas. Most of the bananas originate in Costa Rica, where cocaine smuggling and production is rife. Over half a million quid’s worth of coke has turned up in a batch of Tesco bananas.

After being imported, bananas are transported to Tesco “fresh distribution centres” – of which there are dozens across the UK – and then sent out to stores.

This shocking discovery comes just months after a woman from Pontardawe, Wales, found a mass of deadly, erection-inducing spiders inside a bunch of bananas, also from Tesco.

Drug traffickers will try nearly anything to smuggle their products into countries.

In April last year cocaine with an estimated street value of £25m was found in a consignment of bananas from Colombia at a Kent warehouse.

The rogue shipment was delivered to a superstore in Wokingham, the Evening Standard reports.

With huge profits at stake, smugglers use freaky ways in a bid to evade detection.
