In Victoria, sheriff’s deputies teamed up with a regional drug task force for a major win against traffickers last Friday on Highway 59. During a simple traffic stop, they uncovered 44 pounds of cocaine cleverly hidden in a secret compartment built into the vehicle. The people inside the car were quickly arrested on serious charges like drug delivery and organized crime. Authorities say they’re digging deeper to break up the bigger smuggling ring behind it, helping keep dangerous drugs off the streets.
