Glendale police say they seized more than 50 pounds of cocaine that had been buried in a backyard. Detectives found 20 "brick-shaped items" in a plastic bin they dug up in the backyard of a Glendale home while executing a search warrant on Wednesday, according to police records. Each item contained a powdery substance testing positive for cocaine and, in total, weighed 54.2 pounds, according to police. In addition, police say they seized $17,570 in cash, a digital scale, a drug ledger and a .22-caliber rifle. "You're looking about $500,000 worth of cocaine taken off the street," Glendale police Sgt. Scott Keene said. Saul Sanchez-Leon, 21, Felix Leon-Pacheco, 34, and Efrain Loya-Leon, 25, were arrested in connection with the find and booked into a Maricopa County jail on suspicion of possessing narcotic drugs for sale, police records show. Police said that Loya-Leon, in addition to the potential drug charge, is in the country illegally.
