Two people arrested in drug bust

EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - El Centro police arrested at least two men in a drug bust.

The El Centro Police Department said it got a call on Thursday regarding suspicious drug activity but once police arrived, the vehicle in question was not found.

Officers later found the vehicle and made a traffic stop on Pico Road and Imperial Avenue.

One witness who did not want to appear on camera said as soon as police stopped the vehicle, a man quickly ran out of the car trying to escape.

He said the officer called for backup and multiple officers arrived pointing their guns at the four suspects and yelling to put their hands up.

The El Centro Police Department said one suspect was taken to Imperial County Jail and one was arrested on drug charges after a canine alerted law enforcement of drugs in the car.
