(KSL News) -- The UHP and the DEA have teamed up to make a major methamphetamine bust.
In an interdiction operation in Washington County this week, the offficers seized eight pounds of meth and a large amount of cash.
The drugs have a street value of half a million dollars, but officers say it's the human cost that motivates them.
Major Keith Squires, Utah Highway Patrol: "We all live in communities throughout the state of Utah. We all see every day the effects that drug use and sales have on the communities that we live in."
A K-9 dog helped officers find the drugs and cash in a secret compartment inside the trunk of the car. Troopers had pulled over the driver for having too dark of a tint on the windows.
