U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Cincinnati intercepted the smuggled drugs in a shipment of cereal coming from South America.
The shipment contained about 44 pounds of cocaine-coated corn flakes, which could have a street value of up to $2,822,400.
CBP Narcotic Detector Dog “Bico” was working incoming freight from Peru when he alerted to a large shipment of cereal headed to a private home in Hong Kong.
When officers opened the box to take a closer look, they saw the cereal contained white powder, and the flakes were coated with a grayish substance.
Officers tested the flakes and powder and found they contained cocaine.
Cincinnati Port Director Richard Gillespie emphasized that smugglers will hide narcotics in anything imaginable.
“The men and women at the Port of Cincinnati are committed to stopping the flow of dangerous drugs, and they continue to use their training, intuition, and strategic skills to prevent these kinds of illegitimate shipments from reaching the public,” Gillespie said.
