Record-breaking meth haul made in California, says DEA
15 October 2020
The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have seized their largest-ever domestic haul of methamphetamine - more than 1,000kg (2,200 pounds).
The drugs were found during raids just outside of Los Angeles this month.
Another federal agency intercepted an even larger amount of meth at a San Diego port the week before.
The two hauls are "enough to provide a dose of meth, for every man, woman, and child in the United States and Mexico", a DEA chief said on Wednesday.
Timothy Shea, the acting agency administrator, told a press conference that the latest seizure came from two apparent stash houses in the Moreno Valley and Perris.
