Cops seize nearly $600,000 worth of cocaine from vacant house
Henry County police found plenty of drugs but no dealer Friday when they arrived at a Stockbridge residence, search warrant in hand.
Investigators had traced the distribution of illegal narcotics to the 100 block of Valley Drive, and their search turned up approximately 11.6 pounds of powder cocaine and 1.3 pounds of crack cocaine, Henry police spokesman Jason Bolton said Monday. Estimated street value of the seized coke: $586,300.00. Another $53,740 in cash was found inside the home.
Charges are still pending against the distributors, who remain at large, Bolton said.
