Police seize record cocaine haul in banana shipment in Spain; woman arrested and 2 suspects at large

Spanish police said Wednesday that they had seized 13 tons of cocaine -- the country's largest-ever haul of the drug -- and made one arrest.

Police and customs agents intercepted the cocaine in the southern port of Algeciras on October 14 from a container ship that had arrived from Ecuador's largest city Guayaquil, a drug-trafficking hub.

The ship carried crates of bananas that concealed identically designed boxes containing the cocaine, and intelligence from Ecuadoran police tipped off the Spanish authorities, national police said in a news release.
