Officials said two males occupied the semi-truck, and when they began to investigate further, the driver admitted to having no reason to be at the location besides sleeping in their truck for the evening.

Police said the two men began to act nervous, so a consent search was obtained, and ultimately, a K-9 unit was utilized to search the truck and trailer, where they found cardboard boxes that contained empty mailboxes that included the four kilos of cocaine that have a street value of approximately $320,000.

Officials said the two men were arrested without incident and taken to the Macomb County Jail.
