"The cooperative effort led to the seizure of 4,038 pounds of methamphetamine," according to a sheriff's statement.

No suspects were immediately identified in connection with the illicit drugs.

However, the investigation was ongoing Friday, and the sheriff's department declined to disclose any further details.
