Police in Mexico have found nearly two kilograms of methamphetamine hidden in a block of cheese at a package-delivery facility in Mexico City.

Federal police say an x-ray inspection of the cheese revealed a hidden package. When the block was cut open, police found the drugs wrapped in a sheet of lead and carbon paper.

The carbon paper was apparently intended to reduce any odour. The lead may have been used to impede x-rays.
