LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal and local authorities investigating drug trafficking by Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel found more than 3,550 pounds of methamphetamine and 145 pounds of cocaine at a home in Southern California.
The bust marked the largest meth seizure in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Los Angeles Division, the DEA said Wednesday.
Investigators watching a possible stash house in Norco late last month observed an individual carry three boxes from the residence to a vehicle, according to the DEA.
Officials say a search of the vehicle turned up the cocaine and the meth was found in the garage of the home. The DEA says the drugs have an estimated value of $33 million.
