$11.2M in cocaine, methamphetamine found in Gwinnett warehouse

Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office made a significant drug seizure. Officials said the Sheriff’s Office received information earlier this month about drugs being stored at a warehouse on Peachtree Crest Drive in Duluth.

Deputies executed a search warrant on Monday and located 120 kilograms of cocaine with a street value of $3.6 million and 380 pounds of methamphetamine with a street value of $7.6 million, officials said.

Officials said three men, Jose Romero, Epifanio Sandoval and Luis Pacheco-Vasquez, have been charged with trafficking in cocaine and methamphetamine, Channel 2's Kerry Kavanaugh reported.
