Police in the Falkland Islands said nearly $1.5 million worth of cocaine disappeared from a double-locked cell at a police station.Officers at the Port Stanley station, where the 29 packets of cocaine were being stored after they were confiscated from a fishing boat in October, said the two suspects arrested in connection with the raid were jailed at the police station but they were allowed free use of a corridor at night time that allowed access to the cell holding the drugs, The Times of London reported Monday.A court was told one of the suspects had reached between the gap between the bottom of the cell door and floor and removed the drug packets one at a time over the course of several days. Officers said they found last week that 23 of the 29 packets were missing.Investigators said they do not know what became of the drugs but they are looking into whether they were flushed down a toilet or smuggled off the island.
