State police seized an estimated $6 million worth of cocaine on Wednesday when a New York man attempted to pick up the package from a local commercial delivery service.

Police said Edwin Olivo, 37, of the Bronx, tried to pick up the package — which contained 102 kilos, or about 225 pounds, of cocaine — around noon. State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said the package had been moved by a forklift to the delivery service's loading dock.

Olivo was loading the package into his car when he was arrested, according to Vance.

"This is cocaine in its purest form," Vance said.

He would not identify the delivery service, and would not disclose where the package was from. But Vance said it had been shipped to the delivery service from another country. He also would not say why the package was shipped to Connecticut.
