Fifty-one suspects have been arrested in a multi-million dollar drug and robbery sting in Southern California.
The operation, which spanned three counties, was conducted by the San Bernardino Police Department’s Auto Theft Task Force in conjunction with other local agencies.
Authorities searched several locations where a total of 51 suspects were arrested.
During the crackdown, a stockpile of illegal and stolen goods was discovered, including:
-
$8 million worth of goods stolen
-
$325,000 in cash
-
425 pounds of methamphetamine
-
48 gallons of liquid methamphetamine
-
20 vehicles stolen
-
20 rifles and handguns
-
1 methamphetamine laboratory in operation
Photos of the bust show that the stolen cargo was stored in a warehouse and, in addition to the seized firearms, officers also found a significant amount of ammunition.
The 51 suspects arrested have been charged with numerous counts, including felonies related to train robberies, stolen vehicles with altered vehicle identification numbers, operating a methamphetamine lab, possession of methamphetamine for sale, child endangerment, possession of assault weapons, conspiracy and more.
The identities of the suspects have not been released.
