SULLIVAN CITY - A tip from an informant led police to a stash house filled with drugs.

Border Patrol, DPS and Sullivan City police all worked together to bust the stash house located right off the expressway near Havana, between La Joya and Sullivan City.

Joe Cantu with Sullivan City police says an informant tipped them off to the house. When authorities arrived they saw the back door was open and 19 bundles of drugs were left inside.

Cantu says they thought they were going to find something else in the home.

"There was supposed to be some illegal aliens in there as well, however, we didn't find anybody in there, just packages in the bathroom of the master bedroom," he said.

Neighbors tell CHANNEL 5 NEWS they hadn't seen anyone in the house since a woman with children moved out many months ago.
