Two men were arrested Thursday after roughly $3 million worth of methamphetamine was found at a Hall County residence during a narcotics investigation.
Juan Hernandez-Pacheco, 20, and Israel Bustis-Padilla, 31, both of Michoacan, Mexico, were arrested without incident at the home in the 3700 block of James Ed Road, off Cleveland Highway, according to Hall County Sheriff's Office Spokesman Derreck Booth.
"In a search of the residence, agents found approximately 67 pounds of methamphetamine, this was both in the crystal form as well as in liquid form," Booth said.
Packaging materials, chemicals and a ledger were also located and seized.
Both men face trafficking methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and manufacturing methamphetamine charges in Hall County, as well as having immigration holds through the Department of Homeland Security.
Booth said further arrests aren't expected in the case.
