Police bust uncovers cocaine hidden in produce shipment

PORT OF PHILADELPHIA -- Federal investigators have made a major cocaine bust at the Port of Philadelphia.

More than 360 pounds of the drug was found in a produce shipment coming in from Costa Rica.

Investigators believe it was supposed to be trucked to New York.

The cocaine had been laminated and hidden in boxes of squash and pumpkins, police said.

"The only way to find it is to actually physically examine and pull out every piece of vegetable and actually locate the narcotics," said Paul Nardella, Assistant Port Director.

Police said the cocaine has a street value of at least $6 million.

The bust has nothing to do with the World Meeting of Families or Pope Francis' visit, police said.

So far, no arrests have been made.
