THE PHILADELPHIA AREA’S LARGEST DRUG BUST IN A DECADE OCCURRED RECENTLY

Winchester, VA – CBS News is reporting that Philadelphia customs officials made a discovery which ended up being the area’s largest drug bust in the last decade. Inside bedroom furniture and kitchen cabinets which entered the country through Puerto Rico was discovered 700 pounds of cocaine. The street value of the seized loot was about $22 million. The discovery was made in November by Customs and Border Protection officers, who found the drugs within false walls of the furniture. Joseph Martella of the CBP released a statement in which he said, “”Customs and Border Protection knows that transnational drug trafficking organizations will take advantage of natural disasters, and in this case an island struggling to recover from a crippling hurricane, to smuggle dangerous drugs to our nation’s mainland.” He continued, “CBP officers remain ever vigilant to interdict narcotics loads, and we are pleased to have stopped this deadly poison shipment before it could hurt our communities.” Well done!
