PHOENIX — Authorities seized 60,000 fentanyl pills and 142 pounds of methamphetamine after serving a warrant at a Phoenix home last week.

Deputies found multiple storage containers in the home near the area of Van Buren and 41st streets on Thursday that contained M-30 fentanyl pills, methamphetamine, as well as 10.5 pounds of cocaine, the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.

PCSO worked in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration to serve the warrant.

A suspect was arrested, but police haven’t released an identity because the investigation is ongoing.
