After speaking to the driver and passenger many criminal indicators were observed and consent to search the vehicle was granted. A search of the vehicle revealed an aftermarket compartment built into the back wall. The compartment was accessed and 40 bricks or 101.8 pounds of Cocaine was located with a street value of $ 4 million dollars. The driver Sylvia Gonzales Salinas, (44) and passenger Rolando Jr. Guerra, (49) were arrested for Felony drug possession and taken to the Dan R. Beck Justice Center.
People traveling around with four million in coke and they did not have any weapons or cash that is strange. Good work Officer Ellison stay safe.
