Two suspects were also arrested during the bust.

The local CPF's Mark Nadasen says drug-related crimes have been an issue for years.
"We want to congratulate police on doing a wonderful job and seizing that amount and that extent of drugs in the Phoenix area. We want to also emphasize that our community have cried out to the police to intercept and seize these drug dens. They did take heed to our community and we want to say thank you for that."
