article submitted by master911. spanish police said today they had detained a man who received a parcel in the mail from venezuela containing a dinner set that was made with 20kg (44 pounds) of cocaine. the 35-year-old was arrested as he received the package containing the 42-piece dinner set made up of cups, plates and bowls at his home in barcelona, police said in a statement. the package was sent to barcelona from maracaibo, venezuela's second-largest city, via london in the middle of february. police suspect the man had been recruited by a venezuelan drug trafficking gang to receive the package which he was supposed to hand over to members of the group who would then extract the cocaine from the dinner set. barcelona has been the scene in recent days of several creative attempts to smuggle cocaine into spain, the main entry point for the drug into europe. earlier this month police detained an ecuadorian woman at barcelona airport who tried to smuggle liquid cocaine hidden in spray cans of products to starch clothes or clean glass into spain. police also arrested a 66-year-old chilean man at the airport at the beginning of the month after discovering that his broken leg was supported by a "cast" made out of cocaine. source, clickity here for video

riverside county sheriff's deputies seized more than 28,000 pounds of marijuana wednesday after they pulled over a big rig near temecula in what was described as a routine traffic stop on the freeway, authorities said. sheriff's spokesman sgt. dennis gutierrez said deputies stopped the 18-wheeler about 9 a.m. for making an illegal lane change on northbound interstate 15 near the san diego county line and the u.s. border patrol station. it was unclear why sheriff's deputies were making a traffic stop on the freeway in the unincorporated area south of temecula or what prompted them to inspect the truck after stopping it. but when they looked inside the trailer, deputies discovered thousands of pounds of barely concealed marijuana in dozens of numbered cardboard bins. the pot was wrapped in 27-pound blocks, gutierrez said. "this big rig was stuffed -- filled from front to back," he said. by late afternoon, law enforcement officers were still tallying the multimillion-dollar haul at an undisclosed location, but gutierrez said it is believed to be the single largest marijuana seizure ever made by the sheriff's department. u.s. border patrol officials have reported seizures of marijuana from big rigs, especially on desert routes farther inland. but often the marijuana is mixed in with other items. in this truck, no such efforts to mask the pot were made. the federal drug enforcement administration has assumed the investigation and federal drug charges are expected to be filed against the truck driver. gutierrez referred questions about the driver to dea officials who could not be reached for comment wednesday night. source
