Italian police on Tuesday said they seized 2.7 tonnes of cocaine from a port in the southern region of Calabria.

Italy’s Guardia di Finanza police said they estimated the drugs to have a street value of some €800 million ($870 million).

The police said officers found 2,734kg of extremely pure cocaine in two 12-metre-long refrigerated containers hidden among 78 tonnes of bananas.

This took place in the port of Gioia Tauro, calling the operation a “record seizure.’’

The containers coming from Guayaquil in Ecuador were bound for Armenia and were due to go by the Georgian city of Batumi, the Guardia di Finanza said.
