QUIRKY WORLD ... Coffee company finds 33kg of cocaine in consignment

GERMANY: A Berlin coffee business found stimulants it didn’t expect in a shipment of unroasted coffee from Brazil: 33kg (nearly 73lb) of cocaine.

Police in the German capital said employees at the coffee-roasting business found the bag full of the drug the previous day when they opened a newly-arrived container of coffee. They contacted authorities.

The delivery was shipped from Brazil to the German North Sea port of Bremerhaven on its way to Berlin. Police said in a statement they are investigating who was responsible and how the drugs ended up at the coffee business.
