Gilbert Cocaine Addiction - Border Patrol Seizes 37 Pounds of Cocaine

Gilbert Cocaine Addiction - Earlier this week during morning rush hour, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 37 lbs. of cocaine.

The cocaine was valued at $371,000. The drugs were hidden in the dashboard of a car in a secret compartment.

The vehicle was a 2008 Jeep Patriot. A 19-year-old man was driving the vehicle when the drugs were found on June 10.

Officers became suspicious when a drug-sniffing dog alerted to the car's dashboard. The officers later inspected the vehicle with a gamma ray scan and found irregularities in the car's firewall.
