NEW BALTIMORE, Pa. — State police say two Pittsburgh-area men stopped with $500,000 worth of heroin in their car tried to hide the drugs by spinning a carpet yarn of sorts.

Fifty-year-old Robin Turner, of Stowe Township, and 56-year-old Mohammed Ali Ghafoori, of Millvale, were stopped for speeding near Somerset about 11:15 p.m. Saturday.

Police say the men acted nervously and a drug-sniffing dog found nearly a quarter pound of black tar heroin — wrapped in carpet yarn — after the a search of the car.
