HAUL: 107,000 Olympic branded ecstasy pills were seized in Vancouver, worth over £500,000

However, two bungling wannabe kingpins in Vancouver have taken things too far. 

The pair were arrested in possession of 107,000 ecstasy pills imprinted with the official Olympic logo (note to IOC brand protection team - could you also hit them for infringing rights?). 

The haul, with a street value of over £500,000, means they are likely to spend the next few years somewhere even chillier than Whistler.
