BELL, Calif., June 6 (UPI) -- Investigators found a methamphetamine "super lab" during a raid Saturday on a property owned by the mayor of a Los Angeles suburb.
Two men were arrested at the home in Bell, Calif., Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy Guillermina Saldana said. The raid was carried out by an anti-drug task force, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Bell Mayor Oscar Hernandez told the Times he owns several rental properties, including the one that was raided. He said it was rented to a young couple, and one of the men arrested was one of the tenants.
Police also found two children on the premises who were put in the custody of welfare officials.
Investigators said the lab would be able to produce as much as 20 pounds of methamphetamine at once. Saldana said hazardous materials teams removed barrels of chemicals from the property.
