A cleaning crew at an Airbnb discovered boxes containing roughly 235 pounds of methamphetamine last month, Alhambra police said on Sunday, June 2.
Footage from a Ring camera shows two people transporting the drugs in a U-Haul van, police said in a news release. The same van returned to the home on the 1400 block of South Ethel Avenue as police were on scene and quickly made a U-turn to leave the area, according to authorities.
But they were arrested on suspicion of transporting narcotics.
The cleaning crew had called police shortly before noon on May 24 after seeing multiple boxes. When officers arrived, they found the more than 200 pounds of methamphetamine, Alhambra Police Sgt. Efren Tamayo said.
It was not clear if the crew realized what was in the boxes.
Details on whether the suspects were guests, owners or had another link to the Airbnb rental were not available.
The street value of the drugs seized was not immediately provided.
