New Braunfels Police seized approximately $1 million worth of cocaine during a traffic stop on Interstate 35 near the 700 block of I-35 North, authorities reported last Friday.
According to KSAT, the stop occurred around 2:15 p.m. when a black GMC pickup truck was intercepted near Canyon High School. A K-9 unit from the Seguin Police Department assisted in locating a hidden compartment in the vehicle’s floor containing 44 pounds of cocaine.
