Truck stop discovery leads to one of Indiana’s largest drug seizures
Story by Camper FAQs • 20h
A routine stop at an Indiana truck stop turned into one of the largest cocaine seizures in state history, and it started with one observant driver doing a pre-trip inspection.
Back in June, Whiteland Police were called to the Pilot Travel Center along I-65 after a semi driver noticed something was not right with his trailer. The seal had been removed and replaced, but nothing appeared to be stolen. Instead, several Home Depot moving boxes had been added to the back of the trailer.
Officers opened the boxes and found dozens of vacuum-sealed black bricks. Testing later confirmed the boxes contained 159 kilograms of pure cocaine, roughly 350 pounds, with an estimated street value near $16 million.
According to police, the semi was believed to be headed toward Canada. Investigators do not think the driver was involved and believe the drugs may have been placed in the wrong trailer, an expensive mistake for whoever was responsible.
