Douglas County deputies - with the assistance of two drug-detecting canine officers - seized 50 pounds of marijuana and two ounces of cocaine Friday at Kingsbury Self Storage in Stateline.
The estimated street value of the marijuana is $150,000 and the cocaine is $5,000. Officers also seized a loaded semi-automatic pistol.
Sgt. Mark Munoz said members of the patrol division and Street Enforcement Team served a search warrant at 11:40 a.m. at the storage unit after employees noticed a strong odor of marijuana from one of the units.
Deputy Ryan Grant and K9 Chief with the assistance of Investigator Brian Johnson and K9 Mack were able to conduct a sniff of the area and located a suspect storage unit.
Munoz said investigators are looking into who rented the storage unit and possible criminal charges.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Douglas County Street Enforcement Team at 782-9905.
