Spanish police seized 200 kilos of cocaine found inside hollowed-out pineapples that arrived by ship from Central America, the interior ministry said on Sunday. The drug-stuffed fruit was found among 10 shipping containers filled with pineapples that arrived in the southern port of Algeciras, one of Europe's largest ports, the ministry said in a statement. "Among the thousands of fresh pineapples inside the containers, they found fruit that had been hollowed out and stuffed with drugs and then covered with a yellow wax that simulated the colour of pineapple pulp," the statement said. The pineapples arrived from an undisclosed country in Central America and were en route to two companies, one based in Madrid and the other in Sant Quirze del Valles near Barcelona. Both companies were said to be run by Spanish nationals of Colombian origin. • Cocaine trafficking arrests target trans-Atlantic crime families The police detained three people as part of their investigation and have not ruled out more arrests. Last year, police in Algeciras seized 2.5 tonnes of cocaine hidden inside a shipment of pineapples arriving from Costa Rica – one of the biggest ever seizures of the drug in Spain. Spain's close ties to its former colonies in Latin America have made it a key entry point for cocaine smuggled across the Atlantic to Europe. Smugglers have used increasingly weird methods to get the drug past Spanish customs. • Drug gang smuggle cocaine disguised as shoes In recent years police have found cocaine inside breast implants, a wig, a plaster cast encasing a man's broken leg as well as inside a 42-piece crockery set, consisting of bowls, plates and saucers.

Seth MacFarlane’s teddy-bear-come-to-life comedy Ted was a surprise smash back in 2012, earning more than $500 million worldwide. With numbers like that, a sequel was inevitable, and Ted 2 drops this summer. If this new red band trailer is any indication, it should please fans of the first film, as well as any crude humor enthusiasts out there. There’s also a fresh new poster. Check them out for yourself below. All of the stoned Law & Order watching by John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) and his anthropomorphic teddy bear best friend, Ted (voiced by MacFarlane), is going to come in handy for the duo in their latest cinematic adventure. The plot revolves around Ted and his new bride Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth) trying to have a baby. As you can see, they run into a couple of roadblocks. First, they need a sperm donor, and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady doesn’t seem to be particularly eager to lend a hand. The biggest hurdle, however, is that Ted must prove, in a court of law, that he is person before he and Tami-Lynn can procreate. In light of these circumstances, the thunder-buddies-for-life embark on a mission to get Ted declared an honest to god person. In this regard, Ted 2 feels a little bit like a reworking of Miracle on 34th St., only with way, way more weed jokes. To accompany the new trailer, Universal Pictures has also released this new poster for the movie. It doesn’t really tell you anything new about the movie, or really anything at all, but it does give you a clue as to what to expect content wise. When you look at a one sheet of a grown man sitting on a bench in Boston Commons, drinking a beer out of a paper bag with his best friend, a stuffed bear, you know that you’re in for something a little different than your usual R-rated comedy. You can also see the affection the two have for one another. As is MacFarlane’s pattern, he has assembled an impressive cast full of folks you don’t usually expect to see in a movie with so many **** and fart jokes. In addition to Mark Wahlberg, you’ve got Amada Seyfried as their pot-smoking lawyer, and, perhaps most out of character, Morgan Freeman shows up as what appears to be another lawyer. But he’s not the only one, as actors like Liam Neeson, Dennis Haysbert, and Michael Dorn are also scheduled to appear. Those are just the ones we know about, and you can bet that MacFarlane and company have more some surprises up their sleeves for when you sit down in theaters to watch Ted 2 on June 26.
