Deputies and officers from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and the Portland Police Bureau found a large cache of meth this month, officials said Friday.

Detectives arrested a pair of accused drug traffickers Oct. 12 after police raided three units of the River Run Apartments in Gladstone. Investigators found 63 pounds of meth, estimated at $500,000, along with $39,000 in cash and a pair of pistols, according to a brief Sheriff's Office press release.

Raul Villanueva-Sosa, 32, and Jose Nataren, 32, were each booked into the Clackamas County jail and held on $1 million bonds. Both men, who have Gladstone home addresses, were each accused of two counts of possession of a controlled substance and two counts of the distribution of a controlled substance.

Both men were arraigned Oct. 13 and their jury trail is scheduled for Dec. 6, according to online court records.

The case was investigated by the Clackamas County Inter-agency Task Force and the Police Bureau's Drug and Vice Division. The task force includes members of local, state and federal law enforcement officers.

Follow up questions were not immediately returned by the Sheriff's Office asking about the length of the investigation of the "drug trafficking organization" in Gladstone and if more arrests were pending.

This post will be updated as news develops.
