Cocaine found

in dead sharks

June 22nd, 2009

CHINAVIEW

More than a dozen loads

of cocaine has been found

inside of frozen sharks,

according to Mexican navy.

The navy said the 1,967-pound

of cocaine was seized aboard

a ship bound for the United

States during a weekend raid

last week in the Puerto Progreso

harbour on the Yucatan Peninsula.

Navy inspectors in the port town

of Progreso on the southeastern

shore of Mexico said they slit

open one of the frozen sharks

after detecting an anomaly on

an X-ray and black bags filled

with rectangular cocaine

packets spilled out.

Drug gangs are coming up

with increasingly creative ways

of getting drugs into the

United States —

in sealed beer cans,

religious statues and furniture —

as Mexico’s military cracks

down on the cartels moving

South American narcotics north.
