When they finally entered the property, they discovered a sight that was entirely unexpected: an arsenal of weapons, ammunition, methamphetamine and various other drugs.
But this was not the worst part. The search of the house revealed its most macabre episode in one of the rooms: aroom where they had caged two children under two years of age.
