LONG BEACH >> Long Beach police seized nearly 80 pounds of cocaine after a routine traffic stop Monday.

Police arrested and booked Hildefonso Angulo, 28, on suspicion of possession of narcotics for sale late Monday night, police said Tuesday. He is being held at the Long Beach Jail on $1 million bail.

The incident began about 6:30 p.m. when North Division officers stopped a vehicle in the 6900 block of Atlantic Avenue for a traffic violation, according to a written statement from police.

The driver, later identified as Angulo, reportedly seemed unusually nervous, and officers learned he was driving without a license, officials said. Officers searched the vehicle and found packaging material consistent with packaging large quantities of narcotics.

Officers and Drug Investigations Section detectives served a search warrant at Angulo’s home in the 1100 block of E. 72nd Street, and located approximately 36 kilos or nearly 80 pounds of cocaine, more than three pounds of methamphetamine, a handgun and ammunition and more than $3,000 in cash. Police also discovered the car Angulo was driving during the traffic stop was stolen.
