New York (CNN) Authorities at the Port of New York and New Jersey have seized about 3,200 pounds of cocaine in what authorities are calling the largest cocaine seizure at the port in nearly 25 years, and the second largest of all time. The drugs were found aboard a shipping container that entered the US from Buenaventura, Colombia, last month and have an estimated street value of $77 million. The cocaine was discovered in packages placed for easy removal from container. "It was the pin that indicated something was off," Mulvey told CNN. Authorities opened the shipping container to discover 60 packages containing a white powdery substance that later field-tested positive for cocaine.
