German police and custom officials said today cocaine thought to have a street value of about 40 million euros (56 million dollars) had been seized in a small town in the western part of the nation, according to dpa. The 200 kilograms of cocaine, which they believe was from Honduras in Central America was discovered in two containers in a truck in the town of Westerwald in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The cocaine appeared to be part of a drug deal that went wrong. Police think that the cocaine had been orginally shipped to the Belgian port of Antwerpen where it was loaded onto a truck that carried it to a company in Westerwald. The company alerted police after its workers discovered eight parcels of cocaine while unloading the legal goods from the truck.
