BCSO says $2.5 million worth of meth and cocaine were seized in a drug raid at a South Side home

SAN ANTONIO — Bexar County officials arrested two people after finding more than $2.5 million worth of drugs in a South Side home.

BCSO deputies found between 25 and 30 kilos (about 66 pounds) of meth and 1 kilo (about 2.2 pounds) of cocaine, Sheriff Javier Salazar said in a news conference. The meth has an estimated street value of about $2.5 million and the cocaine about $10,000, he said.

Gang unit officers stopped a 38-year-old man in the 300 block of Stonewall St. near Pleasanton Road on the South Side around 1:20 p.m. Thursday.

During the traffic stop, officers found two kilos of meth in the car.

Around 3 p.m., officers obtained a search warrant to search the man's home in the 700 block of Fitch Street. There, officers found cocaine and more meth, Salazar said.

Officers also found approximately $20,000 worth of cash in the home. No weapons were found.

The man and a 39-year-old woman inside the home were taken into custody. They will likely face federal charges, Salazar said.

Salazar said there is a possibility this case is gang-related, but that has not yet been confirmed.

“You can assume that with so much drugs … in one place there will be gang affiliations, but at this point we don't know enough to say what organization it is,” Salazar said.

BCSO, the San Antonio Police Department and the Department of Public Safety worked on this case.
