Mass Cocaine Bust at Border Tunnel | Wilmington News
Description
Authorities just pulled off one of the biggest cocaine busts ever seen at the California-Mexico border—over a thousand pounds of coke, worth $20 million, hidden under floorboards in a truck carrying rebar. The operation also exposed a secret tunnel between Tijuana and San Diego, allegedly used to smuggle drugs, weapons, and people, with estimated drug hauls worth $45 million. The driver, 44-year-old Jose Manuel Lopez from Mexico, is now facing life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors called the seizure “tremendous,” and Lopez has pleaded not guilty as his detention hearing looms. This crackdown underscores the relentless battle against cross-border trafficking.
