COUCH HELD COCAINE CACHE
NEW YORK -- A couch picked up by sanitation workers on a street in the
Bronx was stuffed with about $8 million worth of cocaine, police said.
Workers picked up the sofa Friday, and when they placed it in the back of
the truck to be compacted, white powder came out, police said.
The workers called police, who determined that the powder was cocaine. They
found that the sofa contained about 370 pounds of the drug.
It was unclear who put the drugs into the couch, police said.
