Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
SAN DIEGO — The U.S. Border Patrol says it’s seized more than $3 million that was being smuggled from the U.S. into Mexico.
The cash was found Dec. 20 inside two cars in Escondido. It’s the largest cash seizure ever made by the Border Patrol in San Diego County.
Authorities say they followed a speeding Kia Forte from a freeway and pulled it over. They found nearly $34,000 in vacuum-sealed bundles in the center console.
A second car, a Volkswagen Passat, raced away but was later found abandoned in a cul-de-sac and the driver was found hiding in some brush. Authorities say they found more than $3 million in cardboard boxes in the trunk.
The two drivers pleaded not guilty to Federal currency-smuggling charges.
