MOSCOW, January 22 (RIA Novosti) - Police in Russia's second-largest city of St. Petersburg have seized 32 kilograms (70.5 lbs) of heroin from a ship carrying bananas from Ecuador, the Federal Customs Service said on Thursday.

The drugs were discovered "under the floor of the hold" of the Saint Vincent-flagged vessel.
