Authorities say they seized more than $20 million in cash during an alleged drug bust at a Miami home and business Tuesday in whats being touted as one of the largest single cash seizures in Miami-Dade police history.
The astonishing haul was mostly found in buckets hidden behind a wall inside a home belonging to Luis Hernandez-Gonzalez, 44, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Huffington Post.
In all, 24 five-gallon containers packed with bundles of cash were located behind the walls. In other parts of the home, two separate bundles each labeled as $150,000 were found. There was also a loaded Tec-9 pistol with an extended clip and several packages of steroids, the Miami-Dade State Attorneys Office reported.
