Dallas police seized more than 330 pounds of meth, $100,000 in currency, and a handgun from a car during a traffic stop, according to the department.
According to a Dallas Police Department social media post, while investigating a tip on October 1, officers discovered a suspect who was allegedly trafficking drugs out of a storage unit facility in the 4300 block of Communications Drive in west Dallas.
The investigation led to a traffic check, when police found 330 pounds of meth, $100,000 in cash, and a pistol in the car. Police reported that one person was apprehended during the investigation.
“Getting any amount of drugs off the street is a win and getting more than 160 kilos of meth off the street is a major success,” said Kylee Hawks, deputy chief with the South Patrol Group commander. “Knowing this came from a tip means people want to help us make a difference in their community.”
It is unknown what charges, if any, the apprehended suspect will face.
