Police have found 140kg of cocaine hidden in banana boxes which were accidentally sent to Aldi supermarkets by smugglers.
The drugs, said to be worth around 6million euros (£5million), were sent to five branches of the supermarket in Berlin.
A police spokesman said the mix-up was probably a ‘logistical error’ by the smugglers.

The drugs are believed to have come from Colombia and were trucked to Berlin from Hamburg.
Police spokesman Stefan Redlich said the discovery at the Aldi-Nord branches was ‘biggest drug find in the last 10 or 20 years’ in Berlin.

‘Usually you find such amounts only in the harbours like Hamburg. For Berlin this is extraordinary,’ he added.
Aldi has so far declined to comment on the drugs bust due to the on-going police investigation.
