3TV AND AZFAMILY.COM STAFF
PHOENIX - Five Mexican nationals are in jail after they allegedly tried to sell 5 pounds of methamphetamine to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office detectives Tuesday night.
The detectives met with the four men and one woman at about 8 p.m., near 35th Avenue and Van Buren Street.
During the sale, the detectives identified themselves, prompting the suspects to lead detectives on a foot pursuit. The suspects were quickly caught.
Detectives said they found a handgun with one suspect.
The street value of the meth is about $200,000.
According to Sgt. Travis Anglin of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, the undocumented immigrants live in the Phoenix area and make their living selling drugs.
