German customs net ketamine cache in golden garden gnomes
- German customs seized about 25 kilograms of ketamine hidden inside five gold-painted garden gnomes at Cologne/Bonn Airport.
- The ketamine shipment was discovered after irregular X-ray images prompted suspicion on four parcels bound for Canada and Australia.
- Cologne customs officials confirmed the discovery and described the gnomes as the concealment method for the ketamine.
- In a separate incident, a British passenger’s luggage was searched after conflicting statements about travel plans near Siegburg, revealing 30 bags of ketamine.
- The two operations together amount to a street value of about €2.3 million in ketamine.
- The first seizure involved four parcels destined for Canada and Australia and occurred about a month earlier.
- A Cologne spokesperson provided details about the gnomes and the concealment method.
- Authorities linked the two ketamine incidents to investigations of illicit drug trafficking in Germany.
