Italy police uncovered cocaine stuffed inside coffee beans that were hollowed-out after the package was addressed to a fictional movie character.
Police tracked the package and found that it was full of coffee beans that had been stuffed with 150g worth of cocaine and taped back up again. They arrested the 50-year-old man who came to collect it.
