Almost 100 pounds of cocaine is off the street after a combined drug bust between federal drug agents and the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
During the bust, approximately $250,000 cash was found, along with 93 pounds of cocaine. Deputies said its street value is $4 million.
Guns were also seized from the Kissimmee residence.
Investigators said the house served as a stash house for a drug trafficking operation between Mexico and Kissimmee.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said things will be a lot safer in Central Florida because of the bust.
Sheriff Bob Hansell: “We all know that one of the biggest reasons our crime is going up is the drug trade. If we can put a dent into it, like we did today, and keep this it up, we’ll make this Central Florida region a better place to live and raise our families,” said Sheriff Bob Hansell, from the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
Two people have been arrested, and more are expected.
