Some 135 pounds of illegal narcotics were seized last week in Santa Ana, California, and a suspected trafficker—who may be associated with the Sinaloa drug cartel—was arrested after an investigation, according to a Sept. 19 statement by California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Officials found 89 bundles of methamphetamines in a hidden compartment of the suspect’s vehicle. A photo shared by the attorney general’s office shows the bags of narcotics in rows in what appears to be an area under the vehicle.
