LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Los Angeles police say they found a key source of skid row drugs and weapons in a day-care facility.
Police raided a duplex in which a day-care facility operated in one half. Property owner Maria Castellon, 47, was arrested for cocaine possession with the intent to sell, The Los Angeles Times reports.
Stockpiles of cash were found in the portion of the duplex operating as a day-care facility during the late Tuesday raid.
California Community Care Licensing officials noted Castellon had licenses to operate day-care facilities, but not at that site. A city business license was posted at the property at the time of the raid.
Nearly 31 pounds of cocaine and 50 pounds of marijuana were uncovered along with $300,000 cash. A weapons cache was also uncovered among children's toys.
