The two men were arrested after the drugs were allegedly discovered during a routine traffic stop.
New York State Police arrested two men last week on the Sprain Brook Parkway in Greenburgh after discovering 800 grams of rock cocaine and three pounds of marijuana in their car.
The arrest occurred at about 4:40 p.m. on Jan. 9 after police pulled over the pair for allegedly driving 75 mph in a 55 mph zone, according to police.
While investigating the traffic stop, police discovered that the driver was operating the car with a suspended license, and a state police dog detected drugs in the vehicle. A search was conducted, and officers found “two hidden hydraulic compartments located at the rear passenger and drivers side panels” that allegedly contained the rock cocaine and the marijuana, according to police.
