The FBI also said it arrested seven people.
The agency did not disclose the location of the bust or the names of the suspects.
The bust was part of the Safe Streets initiative, a multi-agency effort aimed at curbing street gang and drug-related violence.

Other agencies — United States Border Patrol, Arizona Department of Corrections and Chandler Police Department — also assist the FBI in making busts.
