https://www.newsweek.com/italy-drug-bust-wild-boar-hidden-cocaine-destroyed-smuggling-operation-1471472A stash of cocaine worth $22,000 hidden in an Italian forest by a gang of suspected drug dealers was reportedly destroyed by wild boars.
Police dismantled the smuggling operation in Tuscany after placing a wiretap on members of the gang, which consisted of three Albanians and an Italian, The Local reported. While listening on a call, officials overheard a person complaining about the damage caused by the hogs.
Four suspects were arrested on drug charges after the bust, which left two members in jail and two under house arrest, Italian newspaper Il Tirreno reported.
The gang came to the attention of police during an investigation into the killing of a 21-year-old Albanian in May last year, the newspaper reported. The scheme allegedly funneled drugs from a supply channel in Perugia to various provinces, including Siena and Arezzo.

And one of them already has a development deal at CBS. They're shooting the pilot in March.
