Port Huron–Sarnia border officers seized nearly 770 pounds of cocaine last month from two trucks trying to cross the Blue Water Bridge. The first seizure uncovered 331 pounds in six boxes, valued at $18.8 million. The second truck yielded 439 pounds, worth $24.9 million. Both drivers, from the Toronto area, were arrested by the RCMP and charged with importing and trafficking cocaine. Authorities say this is part of a larger effort, with more than 3,350 pounds seized from U.S.-bound trucks so far this year.

The jury trial for a Hamtramck man accused of sexually assaulting a Port Huron teenager has been postponed until November. Mansoor Obaid, 22, was set to go to trial on Wednesday, but the defense requested more preparation time, and a St. Clair County judge approved the delay. Obaid was arrested in May after authorities say he lured the teen into his car in February, assaulted her, and recorded the attack. DNA evidence reportedly links him to the crime. He faces three first-degree criminal sexual conduct charges and remains in the county jail.
