Five years ago, a Salina police officer who stopped a truck for speeding uncovered 440 pounds of cocaine hidden in a false wall. At the time it ranked as one of the largest drug busts in US history.

Now days such seizures are becoming common in a state that sits at
the intersection of Interstates 70 and 135, known by law officers as two of the nation’s busiest drug corridors.

Troopers last year seized more than 14,000 pounds of marijuana and 1,360 pounds of cocaine. Also seized was 96 pounds of methamphetamine, 74 pounds of heroin and $1.4.

An extensive network in southeast Kansas recently was broken up,
and several people were arrested as part of a crack cocaine ring in
Parsons, Emporia and Coffeyville.
