TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The FBI says a raid at a Tucson RV storage facility has resulted in the seizure of 68 kilograms of cocaine, $480,000 in cash and several vehicles.

The FBI received reports of possible illegal drug activity taking place at the storage facility near Interstate 10 and Prince Road and set up surveillance.

On Saturday night, several vehicles were seen entering the facility after normal business hours.

Agents approached the vehicles to investigate and found abandoned vehicles with engines running inside the fenced lot. They also discovered hidden compartments in two sport utility vehicles and a big rig.

The FBI says the cocaine was in 68 kilo-sized bricks and 35 bundles of U.S. currency were wrapped in black plastic.
