A man caught with a ham and cheese sandwich filled with drugs has been arrested in the holiday resort of Benidorm in Spain.

Spanish police detained the Colombian national after discovering the snack, which contained more than 100g (3.5 ounces) of cocaine.

Mrs. Doyle springs to mind ... when she confused her raisin filled buns with cocaine. Anyway, I digress ... 

Officers reportedly searched the 29-year-old's home and discovered "more than a kilo of cocaine powder and pieces, as well as marijuana and tools to handle drugs".

Spanish police confirmed another suspected trafficker, reportedly a 20-year-old Colombian, had been arrested.

Reports suggest the two are housemates in the coastal Mediterranean town.
