The Los Angeles Police Department announced the arrest of a suspect and the seizure of 43 pounds of crystal meth during a drug bust.
According to LAPD Central Bureau Assistant Commanding Operations Officer Lillian L. Carranza, the Narcotics Enforcement Detail recovered the meth during a raid.
The exact date and location of the raid were not disclosed.
In addition to the drugs, police also recovered $11,000 in cash and a handgun.
“In the past, this [would] be a seizure by [Los Angeles County District Attorney’s] Major Narcotics Division,” Carranza said in a post to X. “These days, [it’s] so much more common…drug dealers come from other areas to [prey] on those addicted to drugs in Skid Row.”
