A cleanup crew arrived at an Airbnb residence in Alhambra last month where they found boxes containing about 235 pounds of methamphetamine, police said Sunday.
Officers arrived at the home in the 1400 block of South Ethel Avenue around noon on May 24, where they discovered boxes full of drugs, according to an Instagram post from the Alhambra Police Department.
Shortly after arriving at the scene, police said they saw a U-Haul truck returning to the scene, according to Alhambra Police Sgt. Efrén Tamayo.
Police said the van “quickly” made a U-turn, “thinking they would get away,” but two people were later arrested on suspicion of transporting narcotics.
Tamayo said details about the case were limited, but he said a Ring camera captured images of the couple using the same van to transport the narcotics.
Airbnb was not immediately available for comment.
