Massive haul of methamphetamine seized in one of Minnesota's 'largest meth busts' ever
Share this @internewscast.com

Two individuals were detained on Monday following the confiscation of nearly 900 pounds of suspected methamphetamine valued at around $1.7 million, described by authorities as “one of the largest meth busts in Minnesota history.”

“Nine hundred pounds of meth were seized during two traffic stops in Minnesota yesterday, as part of an operation targeting drug trafficking networks you’ll hear more about soon,” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stated in a post on X on Tuesday. “We’re identifying them and dismantling their operations. More updates to follow. Grateful to our U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration partners for their coordination.”

Casas-Santiago is charged with one count of first-degree sale of meth within a 90-day timeframe, while Chaparro faces two counts of first-degree sale of meth within the same period.

“[Nine hundred pounds] of meth seized during two traffic stops in Minnesota yesterday, in a hit targeting drug trafficking rings you’ll hear about soon,” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.  (Reuters)

“… In Minneapolis, [Violent Crime Enforcement Teams] arrested two men and seized the massive drug load — possibly one of the largest meth busts in Minnesota history,” the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday. “Both suspects have been charged with controlled substance crimes.”

Bongino also took to X earlier this week with statistics he says demonstrate the FBI’s heightened focus on violent crime and illegal immigration “is working.”

Over the last few months, the FBI has seized 22% more illicit drugs than in the same period last year, including more than 97,000 pounds of cocaine, over 7,000 pounds of meth and more than 2,500 pounds of fentanyl, he wrote.

The FBI and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
