LONG BEACH - Long Beach police had a record drug bust Tuesday, with three arrests, after a yearlong investigation into distribution of narcotics in Long Beach.
Detectives were led to two locations, one in Long Beach and one in Compton. A search of both locations yielded drugs with more than $10 million in street value, police said.
According to police reports, 126 pounds of methamphetamine were found at the Long Beach location, near Magnolia and Pacific Coast Highway, and 13 pounds of cocaine were found at the Compton location, near Santa Fe Avenue and Rosecrans Boulevard.
Because the investigation is ongoing, the suspects are being identified only as two Long Beach residents, a 40-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman, and a 46-year-old male resident of Compton.
The Long Beach Police Department encourages the community to call and report drug activity to its Narcotics Hotline, at 562-570-7125. Callers may remain anonymous or leave their contact information if they would like a detective to call them back.
