Dutch customs found 30.6 kg of cocaine in a shipment at Schiphol Airport on 20 August. The drugs were concealed in a cross-drum cutter attachment for excavators. The shipment was travelling from Panama to the Netherlands.
After a scan showed an unusual image, two customs officers inspected the shipment with the help of sniffer dogs.
Customs called in the fire brigade to open the attachment, as cutting equipment was required. Firefighters managed to open it after several attempts.
The drugs have been destroyed. Customs handed the case to the Cargo HARC team for further investigation.
The Cargo HARC team at Schiphol brings together Dutch customs, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee and the FIOD. The agencies work jointly to combat undermining crime, drug smuggling and money laundering at and around the airport.
