DALLAS POLICE didn’t have to go far to find $400,000 worth of cocaine – it was in an undercover car they had been driving for two months.
An officer discovered nearly 50 pounds of cocaine while he was cleaning the car at a police station. The drugs were carefully hidden in hydraulically controlled compartments.
“These compartments have recently been more and more popular with drug operations,” said Deputy Chief Julian Bernal, commander of the narcotics division. Dallas police put the car into service on May 7 after seizing it at a drug house earlier this year along with a 1999 Honda. Bernal said the narcotics division searched both the vehicles and found nothing unusual after the seizure. The Honda was sold at an auction.
