On Wednesday afternoon, police, along with Customs officials, confiscated over 98 kilograms of drugs suspected to be cocaine.
The drugs were found hidden in a container making its way from Ecuador’s port of Guayaquil on its way to the port of Genoa, Italy.
The container contained boxes of frozen prawns, but suspicions were raised by Customs officials during routine inspections.
Further inspections yielded four bags in between the boxes with the alleged substance.
An inquiry has been opened as investigations continue.
