235 pounds of meth seized from house used as Airbnb in San Gabriel Valley

Police seized more than 200 pounds of methamphetamine from an Alhambra home being used as an Airbnb over the weekend. 

Officers were sent to the 1400 block of Ethel Avenue after a cleaning crew found boxes inside of the home, according to a Facebook post from the Alhambra Police Department. 

"Upon arrival, officers located approximately 235 pounds of methamphetamine," the post said. 

Investigators reviewed RING camera video from the location and caught the suspects using a U-Haul truck to transport the drugs. 

"While officers were at the scene, the U-Haul van returned to the location, saw your APD, and quickly made a U-turn, thinking they would get away," the post continued. 

Both suspects, who have not yet been identified, were arrested a short time later and booked for transporting narcotics. 

Police have not yet revealed where they believe the drugs were coming from, or where they may have been headed. 

People living in the area are disturbed by the news, saying it's scary that it could happen in their own neighborhood, where there are daycares and lots of children. 

Airbnb released a statement on the matter, which reads in part: 

"The reported criminal activity has no place on Airbnb and we have removed a booking guest from the platform as investigations continue."

No further information was provided.
