Stashes of cocaine and cannabis were found hidden in well decorated birthday cakes in a drugs bust.
The Guardia Civil released footage of officers in Spain ripping apart a cake before pulling out packets of cocaine, allegedly being smuggled by a drugs trafficking ring.
Eight people – six men and two women – have been arrested in connection with the drug bust.
Officers seized 2.5kg of cocaine, 150 grams of marijuana, 250 grams of hashish and €6000 (£5,273) as part of Operation Entrepa.

Receipts, plastic wrappings, ready-to-sell cocaine, cutting substances, prescription drugs, scales and laser guns were also found at the scene.
An investigation revealed a drug mule had been used to transport the cocaine-filled cakes from the Spanish capital Madrid to Cullera, near Valencia, using a bus.
The mule drove behind the bus to ensure the stash reached its destination before the arrest.

The eight people arrested have been held on charges of drug trafficking, false documents, being members of a criminal gang among other alleged offences.
It comes as a £2 million-a-year cannabis crop was discovered growing in a nuclear bunker in February in Wiltshire.
Investigating officers believe the set-up would allow a crop to be produced every six weeks.
