According to the police department, approximately 1,000 grams of heroin, 3,300 grams of methamphetamine, 474 grams of cocaine, and multiple firearms were seized.
Pictures posted by the department show a layout of the confiscated drugs and weapons that had a street value of approximately $750,000.
At the federal level, there have also been recent crackdowns on drugs. While not involved in the Tampa bust, the FBI has made drug and organized crime busts high priorities. Technological advances recently helped agents successfully make more than 800 arrests and seize more than 32 tons of drugs in 16 countries over a stretch of 18 months.
