NEZPERCE, Ida. —
Police said Friday that an anonymous call to the Seattle FBI office led law enforcement officials to this town of 555 people, where they made the second-largest cocaine seizure in Idaho history.
Five people were arrested in Thursday’s raid, and agents seized two kilograms (4.4 pounds) of pure cocaine with an estimated street value of $120,000, U.S. Marshal Blaine Skinner said. They also confiscated $100,000 in cash, 35 guns, silver bars and semiprecious gems, he said.
