( CNN ) -- A German supermarket employee got a surprise this week when she opened two boxes of bananas to find them filled with more than 60 pounds of cocaine worth $ 2 million , police said . Government-released photos show bananas and packages of what is identified as cocaine . `` This is obviously a matter of a logistical mistake , '' a spokesman for the Bavarian State Bureau of Investigation , based in Munich , told CNN Friday . A 26-year-old employee with the discount chain Lidl in the sleepy town of Illertissen was randomly checking the boxes on Wednesday morning , police said . The fresh bananas had just been taken off a food truck , an hour after the store was open , they said . The employee was suspicious of the boxes because they felt lighter than normal , police said . As she unpacked the bananas to take them into the store 's produce section , police said , she found 26 small yellow parcels hidden underneath the fruit . She immediately called police . The investigators established that the substance is cocaine and confiscated the goods , police said . The cocaine totaled 28 kilos , or 61.7 pounds , police said . The German shipper who delivered the bananas also made stops at other stores in southern Germany , but police said no other box with cocaine had been found at those stores yet . The freight had come from Antwerp , Belgium , but originated from Colombia , police said . `` The drug courier obviously screwed up . He simply was not quick enough , '' the Bavarian State Bureau of Investigation spokesman said . He dubbed the finding a `` discovery by accident . '' Police said they did not know why the shipment of illegal drugs was delivered to the particular store in Illertissen , halfway between Munich and Stuttgart . The town is right next to a major highway , a North-South route between Scandinavia in the north and Italy in the south . The freight might have been delivered to the wrong address , the spokesman said . Police were not releasing any further details because of their ongoing inquiries . They said they did not know if a drug cartel or a drug courier was using Illertissen as a hub .
