Police Seize "Colombian" Drugs and Bonds Hoard

Quote:
Police were today assessing more than $6bn (£4.4bn) worth of suspect US bonds seized together with a hoard of drugs during a raid on a suspected Colombian drug ring operating out of Britain.
That's billion.
Quote:
If the bonds prove genuine, the raids will become one of the biggest hauls in criminal history.

"We went in there looking for drugs, searching for drugs - anything other than that is a bit of a bonus," an NCS spokeswoman said.
If it weren't a Greek word, you'd think the British had invented litotes.
