CULVER CITY, CA — Culver City police detectives, along with detectives from other agencies, seized approximately 2,500 pounds of Methamphetamine and about 200 kilos of cocaine valued at $60M during a drug bust in Los Angeles, officials announced this week.

The investigation involved a high-scale drug trafficking organization and led to the authorities issuing two separate search warrants in the East Los Angeles County area earlier this month, according to the Culver City Police Department.
