    Record Cocaine Haul Found In Diamante Horse Head

    Cocaine worth £7.5m has been found hidden inside a large diamante-encrusted horse head in a record seizure of the drug in New Zealand.

    Customs officers in Auckland discovered 35 bricks of the narcotic concealed within the bejewelled 63-stone (400kg) sculpture, which had arrived in the country from Mexico.

    Three men - two Mexicans and an American - have been arrested in connection with the biggest ever haul of the drug in New Zealand.

    Importation of the drug carries a life prison sentence.

    Detective Senior Sergeant Colin Parmenter of Auckland's organised crime unit said: "This is obviously an extremely large amount of cocaine, and in the past we’ve only found very small amounts of this drug.

    "What this find tells us though is that there is obviously a demand for it.

    "While it's possible that this statue may have been sent on to another country, but there’s every possibility that the cocaine was destined for the New Zealand market and we would be naive to think otherwise."

    Further arrests have not been ruled out by police.

    There's obviously a demand for it.
    I can never fathom out why the Coco plant is not cultivated in other parts of the world.
    The whole world grows many plants originally from South America, potatoes, tomatoes, chillies, avocados, maize, yet the Coco plant remains firmly in South American hands !!!

    Coca was grown by the Dutch in Indonesia for years, becoming one of the world's main suppliers of cocaine at one point.

    It's being grown in Sri Lanka and now Mexico is having a go.

    They should have known that hiding things in a horse has been done before.

    Most people think that coca can only be grown in Colombia or Peru.

    Some Kiwis know better.
