Plot to smuggle drugs in lollipops foiled


Spanish police foiled an attempt to smuggle cocaine into the country inside confectionery lollipops, a regional government official said Tuesday.

Gang members in Colombia packed the drug into 55 lollipops and sent them by airmail via Madrid's Barajas Airport, Vicente Ripa Gonzalez, governor of the northern region of Navarra, told a news conference in Pamplona.
