Sunshine police have seized about 481 grams of methyl amphetamine, eight grams of ecstasy, a quantity of weapons and more than $50,000 in cash from a Delahey property.
The find came after police executed a warrant on the property following a lengthy investigation.
The warrant was executed last Monday and resulted in the occupant, a 22 year-old man, facing multiple charges including drug trafficking and possession.
Sunshine Police Acting Senior Sergeant Martin Kappel said the find was significant for a local station.
“It was a pretty big seizure for a station job. It was a good job as far as state policing is concerned,” he said.
The matter is now before the courts.
