    NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WHSV) — A tractor-trailer made 16 crossings of the Mexico-U.S. border in the last half year, according to the Associated Press paraphrasing court records. The truck allegedly was carrying lots of contraband.

    "When the men were arrested on Thursday law enforcement officers seized approximately 54 kilograms (119 pounds) of cocaine and 100 bundles of shrink wrapped cash containing $5,000 to $10,000 each," said the U.S. Dept. of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia in a Friday statement.
