Authorities in Essex, England have reportedly seized a large cocaine shipment hidden inside goods linked to SKIMS, the shapewear brand co-founded by Kim Kardashian. The drugs are estimated to be worth around $8.4 million.
Officials confirmed that the discovery was made during a routine inspection at the Port of Harwich. The container was flagged for further checking before the illegal substances were found.
Early reports suggest that Kim Kardashian and her company SKIMS were not directly involved in the incident. Investigators have not indicated any link between the brand and the seized drugs.
Customs officers carried out a detailed examination of the shipment as part of standard security procedures. It was during this process that the cocaine was discovered hidden within the cargo.
Authorities said the investigation is still ongoing. They are now working to trace how the illegal drugs were placed inside the shipment and who is responsible.
The case has attracted public attention due to the involvement of a globally recognised brand associated with Kim Kardashian. However, officials have stressed that no accusations have been made against the company at this stage.
SKIMS, co-founded by Kim Kardashian, is widely known for its shapewear and clothing products. The brand has expanded rapidly since its launch and operates in multiple international markets.
Law enforcement agencies are continuing to review shipping records and supply chain details. They aim to determine whether the container was tampered with during transit.
Authorities have also increased monitoring at key ports following the discovery. Similar inspections are expected to continue as part of ongoing anti-smuggling operations.
Officials reiterated that the focus remains on identifying the criminal network behind the smuggling attempt. They confirmed that all standard legal procedures are being followed.
The incident has sparked discussion online due to the high-profile name linked to the shipment. However, investigators maintain that the case is strictly under criminal inquiry.
For now, Kim Kardashian and SKIMS remain unconnected to any wrongdoing. Authorities continue their investigation into how the large cocaine consignment entered the shipping system.
