QUITO (Reuters) - Ecuadorean Police on Thursday destroyed some 21.5 metric tons of cocaine which they seized over the weekend as part of a military offensive declared by the government to combat organized crime.
The drugs were found on Sunday stored in hundreds of blocks in storage space built under a pig farm located in the city of Vinces, officials said. One person was arrested at the scene.

All ten tons burned well.

reduce, REUSE, recycle, ffs…
Should have opened a ski resort.
omg lmao lemmy has been so funny lately 😆
I’ve never tried cocaine. They could have sent me a 1kg sampler. Cheap bastards.
But why would they destroy it? I thought people liked that stuff.
Authorities used a technique known as encapsulation to destroy the drug, pulverizing the seized blocks with waste before mixing the resulting fine powder with cement, sand and glass.
Someone totally took that home. “We turned that 20 tons of coke into 20 tons of concrete. Job well done pack it up.”
