GEORGIA — A routine traffic stop for an illegal U-turn led to the seizure of several pounds of illegal drugs Wednesday, according to the Fulton County Police Department.
Police said officers were on patrol when they stopped a vehicle after the driver made an illegal U-turn at an intersection on Fulton Industrial Boulevard. During a search of the vehicle, officers discovered two brick-like packages wrapped in tape and vacuum-sealed inside a shoebox.
Investigators determined the packages contained cocaine and fentanyl with a combined weight of 4.6 pounds. A large amount of cash was also recovered from the vehicle, police said.
“The Fulton County Police Department is dedicated to proactively policing and taking drugs off the streets that hurt our community,” the department said in a statement.
The driver’s identity and age were not released. Further details about potential charges were not immediately available.
