And finally… coke and a slice
Reading time: 1 minute
A pizzeria owner has been arrested after it emerged the best-selling item on his menu came with a side of cocaine.
Customers who ordered “pizza No. 40” from the unnamed pizzeria in Düsseldorf received both pizza and drugs at their door, DW reports.
It was “one of” the restaurant’s “best-selling pizzas”, German police said in a statement. They did not elaborate on the ingredients of the other contenders for that title.
When police arrived to arrest the 36-year-old restaurant owner, he allegedly threw a bag containing significant amounts of drugs out of the window — where it landed right in the hands of waiting officers.
Police ultimately seized 1.6 kilograms of cocaine, 400 grams of cannabis and €268,000 in cash.
The owner was released from jail two days later and allegedly resumed selling cocaine from the restaurant, leading police to identify and arrest 14 more suspects, including three suspected suppliers.
The 15 arrestees will now be prosecuted.
