From the TRIIDAD GUARDIAN:
United States authorities have seized an estimated US$100 million (approx TT$644 million) worth of cocaine concealed in cans of juice shipped from Trinidad to Norfolk, Virginia. Although the shipment was seized on December 20, the haul was only reported in US media on Thursday after officials held a media briefing and issued a press release. The find was described as the largest seizure in the port of Norfolk’s history.
The drugs were concealed in 700 cans that appear to be manufactured by the Citrus Growers Association, a subsidiary of SM Jaleel, and were being shipped in a container destined for New York. The cans contained a total of 732 pounds of cocaine.
