ROTTERDAM - Customs intercepted 930 kilos of cocaine during a check in the port of Rotterdam on Thursday. The drugs are worth more than 69 million euros.

According to the Dutch Public Prosecution (OM), the cocaine was hidden in a shipment of used cooking oil from Curaçao. The cargo was destined for a company in Ter Aar. That company probably has nothing to do with the smuggling, the Public Prosecution Service reported on Thursday.
