BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. (AP) — Authorities say a drug bust in Brooklyn Center has netted 140 pounds of methamphetamine, the largest
seizure of the drug in state history.
Forty -year-old Dolores Castillo and 27 -year-old Francisco Silvestre-Marintez are both charged with possession of methamphetamine
with intent to distribute.
The federal Drug Enforcement Agency and the Anoka Hennepin Drug Task Force seized the meth from a home in Brooklyn Center on
Monday.
Castillo and Silvestre-Marintez were arrested at their home in Maplewood. Authorities say the two had two pounds of meth and
$130,000 in cash on hand.
Authorities made several undercover purchases from a dealer in March and April and later learned that a home in Brooklyn Center was
being used as a storage facility.
It's unclear whether the two have attorneys.
