SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (KSTU) A major blow against Mexican drug trafficking in the Salt Lake City, Utah area.

Over the last 48 hours, DEA agents seized a number of guns, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and 25 pounds of methamphetamine.

The meth alone has a street value of around a half a million dollars.

The DEA is not commenting on how many arrests were made during this latest sting, because it is part of a larger, ongoing investigation.

The DEA believes this is the largest seizure of meth in the history of the state.

Frank Smith, DEA says, “the most significant thing is all these drugs were coming to Utah, and because of the hard work of our state, local and federal counterparts they are seized and they will not be hitting our streets."
