California Drug Raid Nets $250,000 Worth of Meth
OAKLEY, Calif. -- A police raid on an Oakley residence Tuesday night resulted in the seizure of nine pounds of methamphetamine and the arrest of two men, authorities said.
Detectives from the Contra Costa County Sheriff Office's Narcotics Unit arrested 23-year-old Samuel Lopez and 22-year-old Jose Reynoso after serving a search warrant at a home on the 4500 block of Waterford Way around 8 p.m., Sheriff's Office spokesman Jimmy Lee said in a news release. They are being held at County Jail in Martinez on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance for sale and theft of utility services. They are being held without bail because they are also on an immigration hold, Lee said.
The street value of the methamphetamine found was approximately $250,000, Lee said.
