Ecuador seizes 370 kg of cocaine stamped with Erling Haaland images
What's new: Police arrested a woman near Tulcan after finding 370 packages hidden in a truck's false bottom on the Pan-American Highway.
Ecuador police seized about 370 kilograms of cocaine in Carchi province near the Colombian border, with packages marked by images of Manchester City and Norway striker Erling Haaland. Anti-narcotics agents stopped a suspicious truck on the Pan-American Highway after receiving an anonymous tip and found 370 bricks concealed in a false compartment, according to police reports cited by AP and CNN. Ximena Sangolquiza, head of the anti-narcotics unit in Carchi, said the substance tested positive for cocaine. A woman identified as Maria R., carrying Colombian identity documents, was arrested in the operation near Tulcan. Police gave no reason for Haaland's image, though celebrity photos are often used to label shipments.
