Customs officials in Germany have announced the country's largest ever cocaine haul at the port of Hamburg which is estimated at 1 billion euros.

Over four tonnes of the drug were being transported from Montevideo, Uruguay, to Antwerp, Belgium, when they were intercepted by authorities during a routine check two weeks ago.

The shipment, listed as soya beans, was hidden in over 200 black sports bags inside a shipping container.

Officials says the drugs have since been destroyed under strict security.
