(CNN) -- Bolivian police have seized a massive stash of cocaine diluted inside hundreds of wine bottles, state media reported Thursday.
Authorities believe the $2 million worth of diluted and solid cocaine is tied to a drug trafficking organization that made shipments to Italy, the state-run ABI news agency said.
Police said they arrested a Brazilian suspect in a raid in a residential neighborhood in the city of Santa Cruz.
The man tried to kill himself with a pocket knife when authorities cornered him, according to ABI.
