Police found an estimated 30 million dollars worth of cocaine hidden among a tractor-trailer full of
toys headed for Wal-Mart stores in North Carolina.
State police pulled over a tractor-trailer Sunday on Interstate
40 near Forrest City, saying it was speeding.
Troopers said the truck`s driver was cited for driving on a
suspended license and that he and a passenger appeared nervous
during the traffic stop, so officers asked for permission to search
the rig.
According to police, officers found cocaine inside 12 boxes,
each containing about 25 kilograms. The total weight of the drugs
is estimated at 660 pounds. Two men remain in custody with bond set
at two (m) million dollars.
