    Laboratory tests revealed a large shipment of brown sugar had been laced with cocaine.

    Investigative teams are still testing the sugar, which had been packed into 33,450 units of 500g each, to determine the exact concentration of cocaine.

    In another development, police at Bogota airport arrested a Mexican national who had arrived with $2.8m (£1.7m) in his hand luggage


    It is one of largest hauls of cocaine seized in Colombia over the past years.

    Monday, police officers detained a Mexican national, Jesus Ochoa, who is from Culiacan in the state of Sinaloa.

    Officers said they suspected the cash was payment for drugs shipments to Mexico's Sinaola cartel.

    "It's one of the biggest cash seizures in recent years," the customs authorities said in a statement.
