San Jose Meth Bust
A Palo Alto police investigation into stolen iPads has led to one of the largest meth busts in the country's history, federal investigators said Saturday.
Police and federal agents seized 750 pounds of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of $34 million, from a San Jose apartment Thursday after Palo Alto investigators spotted the drugs while following up on stolen iPads, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The bust "is one of the largest we are aware of," DEA Special Agent Casey Rettig said.

Mexico Arrests Meth Man
The hunt for elusive drug cartel leader Joaquin Guzman, known as El Chapo, got a shot in the arm Tuesday with the arrest of infamous meth producer Jaime Herrera in Mexico's Pacific coast state of Sinaloa.
Herrera's arrest will open trails to one of Mexico's most wanted men, Guzman, who is believed to be hiding in an area close to the mountains from where he was arrested, Reuters reported. It is widely believed that Guzman's cartel is producing methamphetamine, or ice, on a large scale. U.S. and Mexican authorities have a great deal of evidence that Herrera is one of the high-profile operators of Guzman.
