Authorities raided a methamphetamine and marijuana manufacturing operation southeast of Myrtle Friday, arresting two people.
More than 300 grams of meth, as well as drug-making equipment, cash and firearms, were seized in the raid around 2:30 p.m. Friday by Freeborn County deputies, Albert Lea police and officers of the South-Central Drug Investigative Unit, authorities said.
The meth lab was located upstairs in the London Township house, with a marijuana-growing operation set up in the basement.
Police did not release the names of the two people arrested. They are expected to be charged Tuesday. Police said more arrests are likely in connection with the lab.
