Airport officials in India have seized more than $3m (£2.5m) worth of cocaine that had been hidden inside polystyrene balls in a courier package.

Staff Indra Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi made a shocking discovery when they found the drugs in a sealed box which contained hundreds of white balls.

Upon cutting the balls open, officials found they contained smaller balls filled with cocaine.
