GAINESVILLE - Drug agents confiscated more than a pound of methamphetamine during an undercover buy in south Hall County Thursday.

Lt. Scott Ware with the Hall County Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad said the operation was conducted on Golden Parkway. He identified the suspects as Jennifer Aviles-Sanchez, 26, of Norcross and Jose Macias-Sanchez, 47 of Duluth. Ware said he did not know if the two were related.

The 19 ounces of methamphetamine was packaged in gallon-sized Ziploc bags, according to Ware.

The drugs held an estimated street value of $53,200.00.
