36 Cocaine Kilos Found in Long Beach

LONG BEACH — On Feb. 17, the Long Beach Police Department confiscated about 36 kilos of cocaine — about $2.8 to $3.6 million — during a routine traffic stop in North Long Beach.

LBPD stopped 28-year-old Hildefonso Angulo on the 6900 block of Atlantic Avenue for a traffic-related violation. Officers noted Angulo seemed unusually nervous and was found driving without a license.

While conducting an inventory search of the vehicle incident to storage, officers located packaging material, which was consistent with packaging large quantities of narcotics. Officers found this to be highly suspicious and believed this may be related to drug sales.

  • Approximately 36 Kilos (79.20 pounds) of cocaine
