Opium seized in record drug bust
Daily News
GLENDALE - A 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of transporting opium and police seized about 12 pounds of the narcotic worth about $500,000 - the largest opium seizure in the history of the Glendale.
Ebrahim Kalatehe of Glendale is behind bars in lieu of $30,000 bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday, said John Balian, Glendale Police Department spokesman.
K-9 Officer Maribel Sumner conducted a traffic violation stop at 10 p.m. Thursday in the 1100 block of Thompson Avenue. During the course of the investigation, she discovered a small amount of opium in Kalatehe's pocket. A search of his vehicle with the aid of newly acquired K9 Yudy, a German shepherd who is cross-trained to detect narcotics
as well as individuals, resulted in the seizure of 12 pounds of opium inside a box of a brown Ford van.
"It was a great police work by Officer Sumner and canine Yudy," said Balian, adding that the K-9 Unit was reinstated in 2005 following a years-long absence. "It shows how important it is to have canine units in our police department not only to apprehend suspects, but assist officers in doing good police work in locating narcotics."
