Mexico City, 21 August 2022 (dpa/MIA) - Ecuadorian officials found 3.5 tons of cocaine after separate finds in two banana containers destined for Europe. One of the containers was bound for Britain while the other was to be shipped to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, police tweeted on Saturday. Officials intercepted a truck carrying a container as it approached the Pacific port of the city of Guayaquil, the police said. They found 92 boxes with a total of 2,300 1-kilogram packages of cocaine. In the second container, located in an undisclosed port in the same region, they said they found 87 boxes and 1,218 packets of cocaine. One person was arrested in each case. The incidents come a day after Ecuadorian police reported a cocaine find in an apartment in Manta, hidden in 4,800 cans of tuna intended for export. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele also tweeted that his navy had intercepted a smuggling boat in the Pacific Ocean carrying 2.2 tons of cocaine worth more than $55 million. The crew was arrested.
