UK authorities stopped a modified truck that contained 90 kilograms of cocaine hidden inside a clothing shipment from the Netherlands. The shipment was labeled as Skims apparel and valued at $9.4 million. Officials said the drugs were packed into the vehicle before it reached the streets.
Background on the Seizure Skims had no knowledge of the concealment.
The company served only as the cover for the operation. Officials noted that traffickers are increasingly using high-volume e-commerce shipments from recognizable brands to avoid detection. Larger brands provide better camouflage because customs agents cannot inspect every package.
