More than $14 million of cocaine is
now off the streets in metro Atlanta. They seized 400 pounds of the drug from a
shipping yard in college park. Officials are now going after the people that
were supposed to receive. Three men are now detained and questioned about this
massive shipment of cocaine.
Finding this massive amount of
cocaine should probably cripple a metro Atlanta drug operation. It is the
second largest in the history of Clayton County. Someone tipped off the police
to the fact 400 pounds of cocaine was packed into fast food restaurant boxes
and delivered from Laredo, Texas to a shipping yard in Clayton County.
They are now trying to track where
it came from and who it belonged to in Atlanta. Chief Jeff Turner said he has a
strong message from drug dealers, “there’s no place for you in Clayton County. We
will aggressively seek you out, arrest you and prosecute you to the fullest
extent of the law.” Police are hoping
the three detained men will lead them to the big drug dealers.
