BBC News


Police in Peru have seized about 700kg of cocaine hidden in frozen giant squid bound for Mexico and the US.

The drugs - worth about $17.5m - were sealed in several layers of plastic and other wrapping material and covered in pepper to divert sniffer dogs.

Police arrested seven people in the operation which they began in August.

Peru is the world's second-biggest cocaine-producing nation after Colombia. Many of the drugs are sent to Mexico on their way to the US.

2. Turner and Hooch

This is nearly identical to the plot line for "Turner and Hooch". They used frozen blocks of fish instead in that movie.
