100kg of coc aimne were stolen from police headquarters and replaced with talcum powder

Police in Seville have been left red-faced after more than 100kg of drugs were stolen from police headquarters and replaced with talcum powder, a spokesman said.
The missing drugs, amounting to 95% of the cocaine seized in police operations, would be worth about five million euros on the black market. All the signs are that the thief or thieves who took the drugs were regular visitors, and might even be police officers themselves as there was no sign of the door having been forced.
According to the newspaper El Pais, the keys were usually kept by the head of Seville’s organised crime unit, although he sometimes handed them over to other officers.Seville police when asked to comment, would only confirm that narcotics stored at the police station had “gone missing” and that the internal affairs department had begun an inquiry.The theft was discovered when police carried out a routine final analysis of the drugs before they were destroyed, only to find they were nothing but a harmless material.
