CASCO TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) — A traffic stop in Casco Township Saturday led to the seizure of more than $10,000 worth of cocaine.

The traffic stop happened around 7:00 p.m. at the Marine City Highway and Palms Road by the Sheriff's Office Road Patrol. An investigation after the stop led deputies to search the vehicle and seize cocaine and pills.
