While conducting a surveillance operation, DEA and Yuba Sutter agents noticed a GMC Yukon and a Chevy Silverado driving “in tandem” while heading north on the I-5.

California Highway Patrol officers pulled both vehicles over for traffic stops, which led to the K9 discovery of drugs in both the Yukon and the Silverado. In the Yukon were a 21-year-old and an 18-year-old who were discovered with 50.9 pounds of meth.

The Chevy Silverado, which was occupied by a 29-year-old and another individual, officers found a loaded handgun and about $5,390.
