Β MINT HILL, NC — Three men are behind bars and facing federal drug charges. Β They’re accused of trafficking cocaine from Mexico to Mint Hill.
Investigators say Jose Carmen Sosa, Jose Luis Sosa and Jose Rodriguez smuggled in at least five kilos of cocaine in a pickup truck outfitted with secret compartments.
Homeland Security officers raided the Mint Hill home the men were staying at Saturday. Β Neighbors say they’re shocked at what was allegedly going on inside the home.
“They pulled out bags of guns ans what looked like bags of money too,” said one neighbor. Β “And all kinds of drugs. Β It was just bags and bags of everything. Β And I didn’t believe it was going to go on in this neighborhood or how it went under the radar.”
The three men all appear in front of a federal judge this week.
