BORDER OFFICIALS SEIZE 306 POUNDS OF COCAINE
PHARR - International bridge inspectors found 306 pounds of cocaine
valued at more than $10 million hidden in the support beams of a
flatbed trailer hauling cinder blocks from Mexico, Customs and Border
Protection said Monday.
A drug sniffing dog caught the scent of cocaine, and customs officers
using an X-ray scanner noticed odd shapes near the beams of the
trailer Friday at the Pharr international bridge. The officers
discovered 121 bricklike packages of cocaine hidden in a space between
the support beams and the floor of the trailer.
