A replica World Cup trophy made from 11 kilos of cocaine was seized by police at Bogata airport in Colombia.

The trophy, made with cocaine mixed with a moulding agent believed to be gasoline, was picked up by anti-drugs officials in the capital, with Colonel Jose Piedrahita confirming that the cup was made from 11 kilos (24 pounds) of the Class A drug.

Complete with engravings, decorations and green and gold paint on the base, the trophy was found packed inside a box in a mail warehouse, addressed to be sent to Spanish capital Madrid.
