The Cibola County Sheriff’s Office catches bad guys often, they find them with drugs or other items illegal for them to possess. There are several times when the bust they make is large – so large that the federal government gets involved, which is what happened on Monday, June 20.
Details are scarce in this investigation, Sheriff Tony Mace said that is because CCSO is currently working with the federal government on another investigation involving the drugs.
Sources close to the bust say it was made on Interstate 40 by CCSO and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations. The bust included large amounts of methamphetamine that when a source close to the investigation was asked, they said, “Its large.”
The large drug bust is part of a federal investigation, according to Sheriff Mace, that is currently underway. The sheriff said that no details are available as the federal government continues its work.
