Prague (AFP) - Supermarket staff in two Czech cities found bars of cocaine inside banana boxes on Friday, police said as media put the total amount at half a tonne.
Czech public TV said the boxes that had been shipped over from Colombia contained half a tonne of cocaine in total.
"Detectives found out that goods from the same batch were also distributed to several other places," police said in a tweet, adding they were searching these places.
Public TV added that the drugs, found in the Czech cities of Jicin and Rychnov nad Kneznou, would be worth 1.5 billion koruna ($64 million) on the black market.
Police said the national drug squad was probing the haul and that they would ask for international cooperation.
