AGENTS SEIZE 880 POUNDS OF COCAINE
MIAMI (AP) - Customs agents Wednesday seized 880 pounds of cocaine valued
at $8 million that had been smuggled into the country aboard a Haitian
freighter.
The agents, acting on a tip, had been watching the freighter since it
docked in the Miami River a week ago, Customs spokeswoman Norma Morfa said.
The drugs were loaded into a Ryder rental truck, which the agents, along
with Miami police, followed out of the port. The truck's Haitian driver was
arrested after police dogs detected the cocaine, Morfa said.
