Customs agents thought something didn't seem right with the coconuts that arrived at Port Everglades. When they looked closer, they found 90 of them were hollowed out and stuffed with pounds of cocaine.
The routine inspection of a container of produce shipped from the Dominican Republic to Fort Lauderdale turned up bags that were missing labels.
Federal agents put tracking devices into some of the fruit and let them be delivered to a produce-importing business in Miami, leading investigators to two men who unloaded and separated out the suspicious bags and a third man who took them to his home.

You take the coke and the coconuts and put them both together.
You put the coke in the coconuts then you feel better

But we have all the coconuts we need right here in Ft. Lauderdale!
People trim huge clumps of them from their trees and put them out in the trash.
Of Course, they aren’t stuffed with cocaine.

Laden with Bolivian Marching Powder, transported by robust English sparrows, coconuts may achieve air speed of Mach 2. It’s all just a part of this rich tapestry we call life.
