Cocaine shark? Has a new meaning.
There’s a new way to smuggle cocaine into the U.S. from Mexico: put it in a dead shark.
I have to give them credit. It’s a brilliant scheme. You could be all like “oh gosh, officer, I don’t know why the shark did so much coke — looks like that’s what killed him, though. Oh well. Mystery solved. He was kinda talkin’ my ear off. I need to take him to Miami to be cremated, cool?”
According to The BBC News:
“We are talking about more than a tonne of cocaine that was inside the ship,” said Mexican Navy Commander Eduardo Villa. “Those in charge of the shipment said it was a conserving agent but after checks we confirmed it was cocaine.”
Apparently, x-rays and sniffer dogs uncovered the great white deception on the freighter in the Gulf coast port of Progreso in Yucatan state.
We feel it would have been more appropriate to smuggle the coke in blowfish.
