One-tonne cocaine shipment seized

Authorities in Colombia have seized one metric ton of cocaine disguised as printer ink and bound for Mexico.

The police said a drug-sniffing Labrador at Bogota’s El Dorado airport detected the narcotics hidden in 48 boxes of a one-metric tonne cargo shipment bound for a company in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

There were no arrests and police wouldn’t say on which airline the illegal cargo shipment had been stashed.
