LITCHFIELD, Minn. — Two people are in custody awaiting charges after a major drug bust in Meeker County Wednesday.
The C.E.E. VI Drug and Gang Task Force says agents served a narcotics search warrant at a home on the 600 block of Armstrong Avenue in Litchfield, where they found and confiscated 11.6 pounds of methamphetamine, more than than 9 pounds of marijuana and more than $72,000 in cash.
Drug agents estimate the street value of the methamphetamine alone to be over $150,000.
The task force says agents were originally called to the home to assist agents with the Minnesota Department of Corrections, and then quickly applied for the drug search warrant.
A 33-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman, both residents of Litchfield, were taken into custody and are awaiting charges in the case.
