A Canadian man who bought a suitcase for 20p found it stuffed with crack cocaine and cocaine powder worth £117,000.
The man bought the case at an auction in Calgary.
The unnamed man didn't realise at first what the 3.7kg of crack cocaine and 1kg of cocaine powder were.
Sergeant Roger Chaffin told the Edmonton Sun: "He thought it was soap and even tried to dissolve it in water - he had no idea."
Police are now trying to trace the history of the case and its contents.
Sgt Chaffin said whoever was carrying the case probably had to dump it when a risk arose. He said the person probably had "some explaining to do."
