And finally… Frosties

Customs agents have seized a shipment of corn flakes covered in cocaine instead of sugar.

The shipment from Peru was searched by US border officials in Ohio and found to contain around 20 kilos of cocaine-covered cereal worth up to €2.3 million.

It was destined for a private residence in Hong Kong and represents the latest in a line of sophisticated attempts by drug traffickers to evade detection.

Officers only tested the “white powder” and “greyish substance” on the cereal after a narcotic detector dog called Bico alerted to the shipment.
