Two Polk County residents were arrested in East Texas after authorities there confiscated about $500,000 worth of cocaine hidden in a false compartment of a vehicle's radiator.
Marciano Moreno, 43, and his wife, Maria, 52, of Lake Wales, were being held Monday on charges of manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, the Colorado County Sheriff's Office said. Bail for was set at $25,000.
A traffic stop Friday on Interstate 10 several miles east of Weimar, Texas, led to a search. A Texas trooper noticed the radiator appeared to have been altered. A drug-sniffing dog located packages with more than 20 pounds of cocaine, officials said.
Jail records didn't list attorneys for the Morenos.
