HOUSTON - It’s being called one of the largest methamphetamine seizures in Montgomery County.

Deputies and Drug Enforcement Agency officials seized 14 gallons of liquid meth from a vehicle in Cleveland, Texas, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says.

That liquid could have produced as much as 200 pounds of meth with a street value at $4.8 million.

The drivers of the vehicle, Enrique Alvarez and Herminia Santana, were arrested during the bust on Oct. 27 at North Walker Road, just north of Highway 105.

A 7-month-old child was also inside the vehicle. That child is now with Child Protective Services.

Investigators believe Alvarez and Santana are undocumented immigrants.

MCSO's Special Investigations Unit and SWAT Unit conducted the investigation and seizure.
