Police in Alhambra said they had seized methamphetamine worth several hundred pounds from an Airbnb apartment.

In a post on social media Sunday morning, Alhambra police said cleanup crews found the illegal drugs in boxes at a residence in the 1400 block of Ethel Avenue. After crews reported the finds, officers seized about 235 pounds of methamphetamine from the boxes.

RING camera footage showed the suspects using a Uhaul moving truck to transport the drugs. While officers were on the scene, the truck returned to the house before quickly turning around when they saw police.

The officers eventually caught the two suspects and arrested them on suspicion of drug smuggling, police said.

Further details were not initially announced.
