LANCASTER COUNTY, S.C. (WPDE) — A South Carolina woman was arrested and charged after having $180,000 worth of cocaine shipped to her home, according to the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.

Quanisha Lashay Manago, 28, was charged with cocaine trafficking (for around 3000 grams, or about 6.6 pounds) as well as possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

Deputies said agents from multiple agencies seized 6.645 pounds of suspected cocaine after a controlled delivery of the substance to a home on Monday, Feb. 13.

According to a report, agents of the Lancaster County Drug Task Force received information that a parcel containing the cocaine was being shipped from a location outside the continental U.S. to the address.

The parcel was intercepted then tested and contained two large bricks of compressed powder, deputies said.

NEARLY three tonnes of cocaine and four military-grade weapons have been seized in a major drug bust along the Guadalquivir River in Sevilla.

Spanish police reported that the men had ‘paramilitary training’ and were armed with what appeared to be Kalashnikov assault rifles.

The presence of such weapons suggests a level of organisation and capacity for violence far beyond typical drug smuggling operations.

More than 600 kilograms of suspected cocaine — roughly the weight of a concert grand piano — was discovered inside a shipment of grapes intercepted by border officers earlier this month.

The seizure took place on Oct. 15 at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont.

A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency says an investigation is underway with law enforcement partners.

The agency declined an interview and said it doesn’t comment on the status of ongoing investigations.

CBSA hasn’t provided an estimate of the street value of the 615 kilograms, but earlier this year estimated the value of a cocaine seizure less than half this size at $6.5 million.
