The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department said it had received reports that two men were peddling drugs in the Oxnard-Camarillo area. Sheriff’s deputies stopped the two in a restaurant parking lot at Las Posas Road near the Ventura Freeway at 6:15 p.m. Friday after authorities said they observed what appeared to be a drug deal.
According to reports, officers seized two ounces of cocaine in the parking lot. The officers then searched the suspects’ apartment in the 700 block of South B Street in Oxnard and found more than two pounds of the white powder concealed in a closet, authorities said.
