A joint federal-state task force made a major drug bust in western Massachusetts this week.
Two Mexican nationals were arrested Monday at the Ludlow Service Plaza on the Mass Turnpike.
They're accused of bringing 15 kilos of cocaine with an estimated street value of over 500-thousand-dollars into the state from Mexico in a tractor-trailer.
Officials say the seizure of the drugs and the arrests saved an unknown number of lives.
hey are being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing on Friday.
