Officers from the drug unit stopped a car in the northwest part of the city on Tuesday night and found five kilograms of cocaine worth about $150,000 and also $100,000 in cash.

Police used a search warrant to enter a home on the same block of Hawthorne Drive N.W., where they discovered 20 kilograms of cocaine valued at about $600,000 and another $100,000 in cash.

Three handguns and a rifle were also seized from the home, police said Wednesday.
