Some 230 kilos of the drug were found in a container which arrived at Valencia from Colombia last week. Inside the container were 34,000 bars of panela, a typical South American candy made from the juice of sugar cane. They were destined for a cocaine laboratory which police had already uncovered last month. When examined more than 500 of the candy bars had cocaine hidden inside them worth a total of £9.7m at street value. The lab in southern central Spain was processing 50 kilos of cocaine a week when it was raided, police said yesterday.
