NEW YORK — Law enforcement officials found nearly 30 pounds of cocaine and $3 million in cash stashed in secret compartments throughout a New York City apartment used by a major cocaine distributor, the city Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor said Friday.
Investigators using police dogs found dressers, nightstands and a coffee table that were retrofitted with large hidden compartments where currency was wrapped in bundles and labeled with dates going back several years. Officials say they had been conducting surveillance when they observed the suspect enter and exit the building several times with a bag. When officers stopped him, they found he had cocaine, prompting a search of the apartment.
