just after Christmas has yielded the largest drug
A
bust in Bedford County history, authorities said. In a
news conference Thursday, Sheriff Mike Brown an-
nounced that investigators had recovered 6.5 kilo-
grams of cocaine that had been carefully hidden in a
remote-control operated compartment of a Roanoke
man's 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe.
Brown's office said it's the kind of ingenious con-
cealment used by criminals busted in major cities that
are featured on the television program Cops. This is
significant Brown said. "It's a major bust."
... The street value of the cocaine is estimated at
$1.2 million, Brown said. Previous drug busts in the
county pale in comparison, he said.
