WHITELAND, Ind. — A trucker returned to find his trailer loaded with millions of dollars’ worth of cocaine after stopping at an Indiana truck stop.
According to WXIN, authorities in Indiana are still searching for suspects after a large amount of cocaine was discovered in a semi trailer at a Pilot Travel Center in Whiteland, Indiana.
Law enforcement in Whiteland responded to the Pilot Travel Center on East County Road at approximately 5 p.m. on June 17 after receiving a report of suspicious activity, the outlet reported.
When speaking with officers, the trucker said he was performing a pre-trip inspection when he noticed that the seal on his trailer had been tampered with, WXIN stated. Officers investigated and, after opening the trailer, reportedly discovered ten boxes that were not part of the driver’s original load.
The cocaine seized was believed to have an estimated value of $16 million. Authorities noted that the quantity of cocaine created a security concern because there wasn’t enough space to store it in the evidence room, according to the report.
WISH-TV reported that the seizure is believed to be one of the largest cocaine confiscations in Indiana’s history.
No suspects have been taken into custody in connection with the incident, according to WXIN. Authorities also told the outlet that investigators no longer have possession of the cocaine, as it was scheduled to be destroyed.
