Spanish police foiled an attempt to smuggle cocaine into the country inside lollipops, a regional government official said.
Gang members in Colombia packed the drug into 55 lollipops and sent them by airmail via Madrid’s Barajas International Airport, Vicente Ripa Gonzalez, governor of the northern region of Navarra, said in Pamplona.
Civil Guard officers and customs officials intercepted the package at the airport. Three suspects have been arrested.
