Mexican police discovers 300kg of fentanyl hidden inside coconuts

Officials from Mexico's Attorney General's Office on Thursday (December 1) seized nearly 300 kilos of a fentanyl-like substance hidden inside coconuts in northern Mexico.

In images shared by the organisation, an official can be seen opening coconuts revealing the blue bags inside, which were later displayed on the ground.

The seizure of the coconuts was made in Sonora and two people were arrested for transporting the substance. The detainees are currently under investigation.
