SPRING, Texas -- Deputies have seized nearly 600 pounds of methamphetamine lollipops in shapes that include Batman and "Star Wars" characters, raising concerns the lollipops might have been targeting children.

Investigators with the Harris County Sheriff's Office valued the drug-infused lollipops at nearly $1 million, the Houston Chronicle reports.

The lollipops were found in a home in the Houston suburb. CNN reports deputies arrived after a neighbor called believing the house was being burglarized.

Instead they found a man and woman packing up the lollipops into a vehicle. Reports say the car's hatch was so full it couldn't be closed.

Sheriff's official Ruben Diaz tells the Chronicle the lollipops likely would have been sold for $20 to $40 each.

"It affects the entire community when they're targeting kids like this," Diaz said.

Evonne Mick, 38, and David Salinas, 26, both have been charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, the Chronicle reports.
