Two suspects have been arrested after the discovery of stolen vehicles at an Arizona automotive business led investigators to uncover drugs, multiple firearms and two human skulls on the property, authorities said Wednesday.
Detectives executed a search warrant at Meadows Auto in Mesa on Feb. 8 after finding seven stolen vehicles, including a 2008 Ford pickup truck, a 2016 Arctic Cat, a Clark forklift and four trailers, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.
Investigators then discovered two pounds of methamphetamine, two rifles, one sawed-off shotgun and two human skulls on the property.
No further details about the human skulls were immediately provided. The skulls were turned over to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office for further investigation.
