Collision repairers at a Poplar Bluff, Mo., shop discovered $150,000 of cocaine concealed in a used door it ordered from a Dallas, Texas salvage operation.
The SUV door apparently originated from a car wrecked in the Dallas area, impounded by police but never claimed. It was then junked for parts.
When the door showed up at the shop, five plastic storage containers holding six pounds of cocaine were found in it. Police are investigating where the drugs may have come from.
