Bell Peppers filled with Cocaine

March 10, 2009

Bell peppers filled with cocaine, being sold at a produce stand/grocery store in Queens, NY. The peppers apparently came from South America, where purchased by three different customers on Sunday. The cocaine was apparently stuffed into baggies and then placed into the peppers.

I’m sure the peppers had to weigh at least double.

Here’s the story on UPI:
