Seven local athletes advance to OFSAA track and field championship
US Customs agents inspecting transports heading into the US discovered over 100 pounds of ecstasy at the Bluewater Bridge.
A US Customs and Border Protection news release says officers in Port Huron were inspecting inbound commercial cargo shipments when 113 pounds of vacuum-sealed packages were found among a shipment of legitimate goods July 25.

The drugs were seized and the tuck was detained for further investigation by Homeland Security’s Border Enforcement Task Force in Port Huron.
