Earlier this week, Costa Mesa police officers made a traffic stop of a vehicle that resulted in a search of the car.
The police officers located approximately 20 pounds of methamphetamine, an assault rifle with a drum magazine, a fully automatic “ghost gun,” ammunition, body armor, and other contraband.
Two Costa Mesa police K9s assisted with K9 Bodi helping to locate the drugs. An arrest was then made.
