A big drug bust nets over a million dollars of drugs - but no arrests.
Prior to the stop, Detectives had received information there was a male on board and this male had eluded California Law Enforcement during an earlier stop of the same bus. The male was not located by California Law Enforcement.
During the stop in Redmond, Oregon, Detectives with the CODE team contacted and spoke with several individuals aboard the bus. As the investigation continued, a drug detection K-9 dog from the Redmond Police Department was requested. A subsequent search of various luggage items aboard the bus was conducted. Items located and seized during the search included approximately 15.4 pounds of methamphetamine, which carries a street value of approximately $300,000, and approximately 8.3 pounds of heroin, which carries a street value of approximately $820,000. Detectives discovered that these items were being transported in two separate pieces of luggage and packaged in a manner to avoid a drug detection dog from alerting on the presence of the narcotics located in the luggage.
