Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies arrested three Mexican nationals and seized 14 kilos of cocaine after a month-long international investigation, authorities said Wednesday.

A vehicle and $80,000 cash were also confiscated. Cleveland police Lt. John Stacho said the trio arrested were representatives of two separate competing drug-trafficking organizations based in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Arrested on drug trafficking charges were Heriberto Gastelum-Calderon, Pedro Alvarez Corral and Delphin Feliciano Perez, who are in federal custody.

The investigation was conducted by the Cleveland Police Department, Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office, Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, FBI, and several other municipalities.
