A major bust of a national drug-trafficking organization revealed $100 million worth of PCP (phencyclidine) and roughly $400,000 in cash in the Los Angeles and Culver City area.
Officials found about 10 million individual doses which sell for $10-$20 each.
Official believe that at least 10 individuals are involved and that the PCP was getting distributed to Texas, New York and Washington, D.C., and other U.S. cities.
Two suspects, Darryl Dwayne Burton and Lagina Bell Huckaby, were arrested Wednesday at a UPS store in Culver City where they were allegedly trying to ship narcotics. The suspects were being trailed for abut a month.
They are being held in lieu of $3 million and $2 million bail,
Search warrants were then issued for two residences in South Los Angeles as well as two large storage facilities, where a drug ring was believed to be operating.
During the searches, authorities found 130 gallons of PCP, along with $389,000 in cash, two assault weapons and enough chemicals to produce 500 additional gallons of the narcotic.
