Uh-Oh! Belgium has too much cocaine.

Daily Mail: Belgium has too much cocaine.

Belgium has too much cocaine: Police run out of incinerators to burn coke after seizing a record 100 tonnes this year.

Belgium has seized so much cocaine from smugglers operating through the port of Antwerp that it needs more incinerator space to destroy it, officials said Monday.

The massive police stash has been given the nickname the 'cocaine-berg,' with more than 100 tonnes on track to be amassed by the end of the year.

Authorities are concerned that depots used to store the drugs could become targets for robberies by powerful gangs seeking to recover their lucrative cargoes.

Antwerp is awash with drugs imported from South America, which are then transported across Europe. This is the moment customs discovered a stash of cocaine, part of 90 tonnes found last year.

Golly, that's A LOT of Blow!

How will Belgium dispose of it all?

It's smuggled from Columbia. Hit the link for images of the map and some clever ways the cartels are concealing it within other products.
