(WKRC) A trucker returned to find his trailer loaded with cocaine worth millions of dollars 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 drivers original load.
A bit more at link, including the est street value of $16 mill.

I'm so glad the trucker noticed & is safe.
Who knows what the people who offloaded it into his trailer had in mind!

that or the originator of the drug shipment misplaced the drugs into the wrong trailer...

The drug traffickers could have had it in their heads to ambush him later!
