- Share via
Narcotics officers seized more than 360 pounds of cocaine and arrested three suspected members of a drug distribution network that allegedly transports and stores cocaine throughout Southern California, police said Thursday.
Using a search warrant for a home in Baldwin Park, officers from Costa Mesa, Anaheim and Fullerton found cocaine worth an estimated $13 million, police said.
The investigation followed a seizure of 440 pounds of cocaine from a home in Laguna Niguel, but police did not elaborate on how one led to the other.
The suspects arrested Thursday are Mauricio Nunez Delgado, 29, and Hector Jaime Isaza, 26, both of Baldwin Park, and Victor Manuel Molina, 34, of Los Angeles.
Bail was set at $5 million for each, police said.
