The Seward County Sheriff's Office arrested two people Saturday after finding more than 20 pounds of cocaine and more than 10 pounds of OxyContin during a traffic stop on Interstate 80.
The stop occurred at about 11 a.m. near mile marker 382 on I-80, when a deputy observed a Mercedes SUV with an obscured license plate, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
A search of the vehicle revealed an after-market compartment in the rear, where the drugs were found.
The driver, Samantha Francisco, 28, and passenger, Julany Rivera, 20, both of Chicago, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance and no drug tax stamp.
Francisco and Rivera were lodged in the Seward County jail.
