Colombian police have just made the countries biggest ever cocaine bust.
They managed to seize 12 tonnes of cocaine, which was hidden under four farms in the north-west region of the country. To put that into perspective how huge this bust is, that's the same weight as two adult elephants and more than any seizure from notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar.
The haul is believed to be around 11 million grams when broken down, having a street value of a gargantuan £502 million.
According to the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration, Columbia is one of the world's leading producers of cocaine, producing over 800 tonnes per year.
