U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers recently seized the largest amount of cocaine at the Area Port of Philadelphia in 10 years. Officers discovered over 700 lbs of cocaine hidden inside of cabinets that were shipped from Puerto Rico. Authorities say that, while examining shipping containers at a seaport in Pennsauken, N.J., on November 2nd, officers noticed something suspicious in one of the containers. The containers were then shipped off to the Boarder Patrol's Centralized Examination Station located in Philadelphia. Upon further investigation, the cabinets and other items were lined with false walls, which concealed 256 bricks of cocaine. Officials say that the drugs had a street value of nearly $22 million dollars.
