In a shocking discovery, Coca-cola workers at a factory in France, discovered a huge stash of Cocaine weighing around 370 kg (815 pounds) hidden in a shipment. According to sources, the street value of this drug is estimated to be around 50 million euros or 42.76 million pounds.

The discovery was made at a Coca-Cola factory which is located in the French town of Signes, near the Mediterranean coast. The plant produces concentrates of various drinks and this is the first time that drugs were discovered on the factory’s premises.

The stash of cocaine was packed in clear bags and it was hidden in a shipping container holding orange juice. Details revealed that the shipment had arrived at the plant on August 26, from Costa Rica.

A spokesman for the Coca-Cola factory talked to reporters and told that that employees immediately notified the police upon discovering the drug. “You can well imagine the surprise,” said a spokesman for Coca-Cola, adding that the workers who found the drugs were ruled out as potential suspects.

The police immediately took the drugs into custody and searched the rest of the factory for any other signs of drugs.

According to local newspapers, the discovery of such a huge amount of cocaine makes it one of the largest finds of drugs on French soil. The last time such a discovery was made back in April 2015 when the French officials arrested two men caught trying to sail a yacht loaded with 250 kg of the drug to the UK.
