Almost 900 kilos of cocaine have been seized in the port of Helsingborg since the beginning of the year. One reason is that it is too easy to break into the port and now security will be reviewed.
The cocaine is shipped in containers by freighter from South America, in several cases from Ecuador, and hidden in maple compartments. Swedish Customs believes that lighting and camera surveillance are insufficient and that the port is not classified as a protected object. The port receives over 400 refrigerated and freezer containers every week, of which between 120 and 130 come directly from South American.
