Two people were arrested in Twin Falls and Jerome in connection with the seizure of methamphetamine, marijuana and heroin worth an estimated $1.8 million on the street.

U.S. Attorney Betty Richardson said Adan Rebolledo-Rebolledo and Heriberto Mendoza-Torres, both 30-year-old Twin Falls residents, were arrested on Tuesday after allegedly delivering about 12 pounds of methamphetamine to an undercover federal agent.

The negotiated purchase price for the crank was $144,000.

Richardson said a subsequent search resulted in the seizure of another 6.7 pounds of methamphetamine, 20 pounds of marijuana and a number of guns.

Before Tuesday’s arrests, federal agents previously had purchased two ounces of heroin and one pound of methamphetamine as part of an undercover investigation.
