Colombian police just managed a 13-ton cocaine bust. That’s enough cocaine to do a line from New York to California.
It’s the biggest drug bust in the country’s history. Police found the cocaine stored underground on four banana farms near the Panama border, with an estimated U.S. market value of $360 million. Four people were arrested during the three-day operation.
The drug seizure was laid out in plastic-wrapped bundles, and covered an area nearly the size of a soccer field. Colombia is one of the world’s leading producers of cocaine, with an output of roughly 910 tons per year. Looks like it’ll only be 897 tons in 2017.
