California –
On Tuesday, a $3.4 million worth of methamphetamine weighing over 190 pounds was seized by a California Highway Patrol (CHP) K-9 team in a huge drug arrest.
At 9:37 a.m., authorities on Interstate 5 at Boyle Ave. halted a white Ford F-150, according to CHP. A fast-paced pursuit that resulted in the suspect’s arrest followed the driver’s escape.

$5,000 in cash and a 5-year-old Czech shepherd named K-9 Axel were key components in locating the stashed narcotics.
Awaiting additional research, the suspect’s identity is being kept under wraps. Authorities think that the local drug trafficking network has suffered a significant setback as a result of this theft.
The CHP has asked anybody with information on this case to call (323) 644-9550, Special Services in the Southern Division, or (323) 259-3200, after hours, at the Los Angeles Communications Center.
