A throng of Colombian soccer fans traveling to Chile unexpectedly found themselves in a real-life episode of the hit Netflix series Narcos this weekend.
Colombian police seized more than half a ton of cocaine – 1,265 pounds, to be exact – found on two buses carrying fans on a 2,500-mile trek to watch Thursday’s World Cup qualifier in Santiago.
“These drugs, hidden inside these buses, were bound for Santiago de Chile and the method of doing it was by transporting it through some tourists who were going to see the Colombia-Chile match,” Major General Rodrigo Gonzalez, Commander of the Region Four National Police of Colombia, told reporters.
The cocaine was hidden in compartments under the bus floors and under the seats of both drivers, who were arrested.
