TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Fife police say they seized nearly 95 pounds of cocaine Thursday night after a high-speed chase.

The Tacoma News Tribune reports two men were arrested in connection with the drug bust, which happened while officers were working on a prostution sting.

Police say that officers noticed a vehicle blocking a lane of traffic on a street near a truck stop. They saw a man emerge from nearby bushes with a duffel bag and put it in the vehicle. The man collected two more large duffel bags.

When the officers approached the vehicle, the car took off and a pursuit began. The chase ended when the suspect vehicle turned into a dead end and its two occupants ran off. They were caught by police shortly after.

Inside the car, police found about 95 pounds of cocaine after obtaining a search warrant.
