Cocaine worth $17m Found In Boxes of Bananas Donated To Texas Prison

Prison guards reportedly found $17m worth of cocaine, in boxes of bananas donated to inmates of a Texas prison.

Two sergeants of the Texas Prison, set out on Friday morning to pick up two pallets of already-ripe fruit – 45 banana-filled boxes – from the Ports of America in Freeport. But when they arrived to grab up their load, they found one of the boxes felt different from the rest.

They reportedly snipped away the straps and rummaged around, until he uncovered a bundle hidden under the bananas. Inside, was a white powdery substance. They then discovered that there was $17m worth of cocaine hidden inside the boxes.

However after scouring all the boxes, agents found a total of 540 packages of coke, with an estimated street value of nearly $18 million.The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said in a Facebook post, that the drugs were found in two pallets of bananas that were donated because they were already ripe. The donation arrived Friday.  The Drug Enforcement Administration, and Customs and Border Protection are both investigating, according to a prison press release. But, it appears, the perpetrator has already split.
