The Detroit police have seized over 30 pounds of cocaine… and more
than 200-thousand dollars in cash.
Officials say this case may be connected to another cocaine bust… that
took place last week.
Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans says dogs from the narcotics unit
helped find other vehicles associated with the initial drug deal.
“We developed enough to impound the vehicles because nobody came to
claim them…we got a search warrant to find in one of the vehicles was
a built in compartment not that come with the car but a compartment
built into the car… where there were 14 kilos of cocaine that were
secreted and in the other vehicle found approximately 200,000 dollars
in cash… so In the last 10 days that’s about 19 kilos of Cocaine and
850,000 dollars in cash”
Evans says he’s feeling good about the efforts of the narcotics unit
…and the amount of drugs that this seizure will keep out of Detroit.
One arrest has been made in the case.
