GERMANY – German police discovered that country’s biggest-ever stash or heroin hidden in a truckload of garlic and pickles.
The 730lbs of heroin was found in the city of Essen and has a street value of more than $63 million, according to Reuters.
Public Prosecutor, Anette Milk, said that two men had been arrested in conjunction with the drug seizure, and local German media reported that the drugs came in a truck from Iran and the two men arrested were brothers who belonged to a Syrian-Iraqi drug gang.
The International Business Times reports that although the truck came from Iran, authorities have not confirmed that the drugs originated from that country.
This drug seizure was so massive, it totaled out at more than the entire amount of heroin seized in Germany during all of 2013.
