Big dope bust

[ynotme297]

WDAM just reporting that a tow truck with Texas tags and towing a car on Hwy 59 at Hwy 11 was stopped for not using it's emergency flashers. For what ever reason, the officer called in a drug dog and uncovered 25 kilos of cocaine worth 10 million dollars. Guess what, It was full of MEXICANS, 3 adult men, 1 woman, and 4 minors. Didn't say what agency got them, but it prolly was Larmar S.O. Whoever it was-yahoooooooo dayummmm:clap::smt023

[firefly]

Way to go, Lamar Co. or whoever got 'em!!! Good job, Law Enforcement people!:clap::clap::clap:

Hattiesburg PD K9 Unit Yeeeehah! They got 'er done, didn't they!!!:smt023

[Scarlett O'Hara]

Yea..................10 million? Wonder where they were going?

[Bahlk]

Yes they did. Good Job

[Honey]

Great job!

[endofthetrail]

Inventive way to try and get drugs thru but glad they got caught. Goood job. Well done:clap::clap::clap::clap:

[mac]

Good. Now let's lock the Mexicans up and throw away the key. I would say send them home, but we all know they'd be back in a month's time.

[ynotme297]

Said they were on their way to Atlanta.

[Concernedforhburg]

See the drugs and vehicle to use the money to pay for the projects in PROGRESS HATTIESBURG.

SAY NO TO TAX'S.

[Scarlett O'Hara]

Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ynotme297]

didn't say if any money was recovered or not, and the truck and car won't bring much money, and they sure can't sell the dope, well maybe they could if the stored it down at the Rev. Fairley's place. but anywho, it was a great bust. I'll bet those poor hispanics were just out of work and needed some money to hold them over for a while. They prolly had a lot of medical bills and had to buy school clothes, and some really good fake I.D's. :smt023

[wilebill]

I thought this was going to be a thread about noway getting busted.

[primetime]

That truck was heading right though ATL and upto Gainsville, GA I bet. The mexican population there is pretty high. So what % does the burg get of the 10 mil for catching them in the act?

[Bahlk]

Im not sure any money was recovered. Just the drugs valued at that much.

[Blockhead]

If I have 25 kilos of blow on me, you better damn well believe I know my traffic laws.

Truth be told though, this was more likely a case of racial/license plate profiling doing what it was intended to do.

Either way, whichever one of you officers palmed some of that stuff, PM me.

[3 gun]

They where just here to do the job Americans want do.

[kevin]

Way to go!!!

[thrillseeker]

You GO boys in blue. This will keep some drugs off the streets so THANKS!!!!!

You mean officers along I-59 are guilty of racial/license plate profiling. I find that hard to believe.........:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh ::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Maggie-Doodle]

Congrats HPD on a job well done! Keep up the good work! :clap:

[ynotme297]

Good job with the bust, but there are some slight problems with numbers.

Typically cocaine goes for around 125 a gram.

25000 grams X 125 dollars = 3,125,000

Thus we are 7 million shy of the claimed street value.

Using their figure , that cocaine would cost 400 a gram, and its not sold for anywhere near that.

A+ for the bust, F for the math

[Conveyor Belt]

8 people in a Montero??? WTF???

[brianinms]

They are Mexicans .... they usually fit 20 or so in the back of an F150 so that is nothing new.

They may have factored in the added value once it's mixed with baking soda and water and figured it would sound more impressive that way.

[Engelbert Humperdinck]

yeah, but that's still like $400,000 per kilo, which is OUTRAGEOUS! At best $25,000 a Kilo. There'd be a bunch of pissed off folks if you cut it enough to make $400k on a bird.

With the way its packaged, it looks like its already cut.

On a side note, maybe the same person doing the math works on the mayors progress committee.

Crackheads don't stay mad long. They just go out and suck another...

Save that one for After Hours. ;)

If I found that much drugs, I don't think I'd be putting my name and face in the news. Somebody somewhere is pretty pissed off about this. I'd want to remain as anonymous as possible.

[Baloo]

Bol C, while your sentiment is appreciated, we do not live in fear of thugs!

Discretion is the better part of valor. Someone who can afford $10M worth of cocaine, no doubt, has a lot of influence. A photo op with HPD would not be worth having to watch my back constantly.
