India’s government railway police arrested three suspects who were caught smuggling almost 300 pounds (about 136 kg) of cannabis inside coconuts.

Inspector Vijay Singh told NDTV the men involved in the smuggling operation were caught at the Agra Cantonment railway station, a three-hour train ride to New Delhi.

Police found roughly 291 pounds cannabis “stuffed in green coconuts” and also recovered about 220 pounds of narcotics, reports NDTV.

Singh identified the three suspects to the Business Standard as Saddam, Aasif and Aadil.

The drugs were reportedly shipped from Vizianagaram in the Andhra Pradesh district, which is a 1,350 km or one-day train ride away from the Agra Cantonment station.

The GRP were not immediately available for comment.
