Indianapolis police seized more than 20 pounds of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin along with $16,000 in a major drug bust Wednesday.

Officers found drugs, cash, a gun and other items Tuesday when they paid a surprise visit to a man serving home detention for an illegal firearms conviction, according to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department news release.

When he saw the officers, police said Lamont C. Dycus, 34, grabbed a bag of suspected cocaine and tried to run from the home in the 2900 block of North Olney Street.
