The Polish authorities have seized over three tons of cocaine worth record $ 760.9 million, Reuters reported.

The police announced the arrest of three people aged from 64 to 71. Cocaine was discovered in barrels of frozen pineapple pulp in a warehouse in the northern port city of Gdynia. It was delivered by ship to Hamburg from Ecuador and then headed to Gdynia by land.

“The value of the cocaine discovered was three billion zlotys and it could have been divided into one million doses,” PM Mateusz Morawiecki told a news conference. “It could have been a powerful blow to the health of young people.”

Latin American drug lords are sending huge shipments of cocaine to Europe, even though the COVID-19 pandemic disrupts the supply chain of drugs, anti-drug authorities noted.

In December, Poland seized two tons of cocaine from Colombia worth around 2 billion zlotys ($1 = 3.9425 zlotys).
