Hmmm, see what a cocaine stacked as a wooden shipping pallet look like, An international operation has led to 11 arrests, the seizure of 1.5 tonnes of cocaine and the shutdown of an industrial-sized drug production lab.
The authorities had this to say about the genius of these smugglers,
“To make the cocaine look like wooden pallets they have dissolved the white cocaine powder with a solvent or glue,” said forensic scientist Richard Hooker, of Allen Morgan Associates.
It has then been placed into moulds shaped like pallets to set.
“When the resin dries out it then solidifies. If you mix it with a dye it then gives the wood effect and gives the appearance of dark wood.
“Once the dealers get it they can then re-dissolve it and reverse the process to extract the cocaine.
“The same process can also be used to make it look like pieces of charcoal by using charcoal powder.”
