Four duffle bags with 100 pounds of fentanyl, 80 pounds of methamphetamine and 7.6 pounds of heroin were found after a man in camouflage was seen near the trains.
Officers were working as part of Operation Stone Garden, a federal and state grant funded anti-drug and anti-human trafficking program, when they responded to a suspicious activity report near the 19000 block of Old Nogales Highway, north of Pima Mine Road. Union Pacific Railroad personnel reported seeing a man wearing camouflage in the area as well as some duffle bags on the ground near two stopped trains, police said.
The drugs were processed for evidence and turned over to a federal agency for a more detailed analysis and processing, police said. Jamie Donnelly covers breaking news for the Arizona Daily Star. Contact her via e-mail at [email protected]
