PHILADELPHIA (AP) — U.S. customs officials say drug dogs sniffed out 450 bricks of cocaine in Philadelphia, the city’s largest seizure of the drug in more than two decades.
Local, state and federal law enforcement officials said Thursday the cocaine was found inside 13 duffel bags in a shipping container. Customs and Border Protection’s Area Port Director for Philadelphia Joseph Martella says Tuesday’s seizure amounted to more than 1,185 pounds (538 kilograms) of cocaine worth about $38 million.
Martella says the ship was ported in Guatemala before stopping in the Bahamas and was destined for the Netherlands. It wasn’t clear where the cocaine was headed or where it was added to the shipment.
It was Philadelphia’s largest seizure since 1998.
Last month, customs agents seized 3,200 pounds of cocaine worth $77 million at Port New York/Newark.

Now about that subject... The Wall.
Has anyone been following the story of Bambi Larson, the California woman allegedly stabbed to death at the hands of an illegal immigrant?
“There’s no reason this beautiful incredible human being should have been butchered that way that she was -- in her own bed, in her own home,” said Larson’s friend Diane Collman. Just curious how you never Trump, never Wall folks feel?
RU just against to be against? I mean, most Democrats were for the wall, before they were against the wall. Please explain that.
Oh, thank you Donald Trump, for bumping up boarder security. It's because of those working with Trump, that these drugs have been taken off the streets.
