A 42-piece crockery set made entirely of compressed cocaine has been seized by Spanish police.

Forty-five pounds of the drug were sculpted into a cheerful set of plates, cups, pots and saucers - painted blue and decorated with sunflowers.

It was sent by recorded delivery from Venezuela to Barcelona via London.

Now police have arrested a 35-year-old Spanish man, known only as JVLL, who is believed to have received the crockery in the mail, after an international investigation.

They believe JVLL was forced into the deal by Venezuelan drug lords. The dealers had hoped to treat the drug and then sell it in Catalonia, police said.

Spain has the second-highest level of cocaine consumption in Europe after Britain.

Chances are they have been using this process for years. It took the 'feds' this long to uncover it.

Wouldn't a drug dog still hit on it? Drug dogs are pretty simple technology.
