COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Police in Norway say officers made the largest-ever cocaine seizure in the country when they discovered 800 kilograms (1,760 pounds) of the drug in boxes of fruit in Oslo. Norwegian news agency NTB said late Thursday that the drugs were found this week following a tipoff from German police who seized 1,200 kilograms (2,645 pounds) in Potsdam on Tuesday. Police didn’t disclose the exact date that the cocaine was found in Oslo or where the fruit originated from. No one has been arrested in Norway.
