It's raining cash in Bolivia, quite literally.

A South-American anti-drug squadron confiscated around $1 million US dollars after a plane dropped  cash in a  plastic bag from a small plane flying over Santa Cruz province.

Bolivia’s Interior Minister, Carlos Romero, later confirmed that the money was  taken out from a Paraguayan bank. An envelope found inside the parcel contained details on the transportation company that was hired to deliver it.

Authorities  are assuming that the drop was a drug trafficking operation. Three people were arrested trying to pick up the money. Investigation is on.

Just last week, Bolivian anti-drug squad annexed 690 pounds of cocaine that was to be delivered to Brazil after shooting at a small plane, forcing it to land.
