Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers seized more than 900 pounds of drugs, including meth, cocaine and fentanyl, between May 5 and May 10, authorities said.
The drugs were found during traffic stops across the state.
The estimated street value of the methamphetamine seized is approximately $385,000, while the fentanyl is valued at about $960,000, according to a DPS release.
“Seizures of these quantities are a sobering reminder of the ever-present threat of drugs to our communities,” Lt. Col. Deston Coleman, deputy director of the AZDPS, said.
