SHERMAN, Tex. ― Police in Sherman seized $180,000 worth of meth in what they call one of the biggest meth houses they have ever seen. Rashi Vats has more.
The Sherman Police Department held a press conference this morning describing what they are calling one of the biggest meth busts in the past 10 years.
Police served a search warrant in the 1200 block of North Branch Street in Sherman. Inside, police found more than 4 pounds of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $180,000. Police also found more than $23,000 in cash.
Sherman police say they arrested three men, all in their twenties and reportedly illegal immigrants from Mexico. Police say all three are at the Grayson County Jail, placed under a federal immigration hold.
"They have a hold placed on them through ICE for immigration, and there will be an additional set of charges placed in addition to the 4 pounds of methamphetamine," Sgt. Bruce Dawsey of the Sherman Police Department said.
The Sherman Police Department says that their cooperation with the Denison Narcotics Division is what made the bust possible.
The next step is a civil forfeiture hearing.
