Baltimore police announced that they made the biggest cocaine seizure in the city’s history — nearly 91 pounds of the drug worth between $2 million and $3 million — early today.

The drugs were seized about 2 a.m. from a house in Southwest Baltimore as part of an investigation by the department’s Violent Crimes Impact Division, police said at a morning news conference where the cocaine was displayed. Officers also recovered about $11,000 in cash.

Police said one person was arrested, but the suspect’s name was not released because the investigation is ongoing and police are hoping to make more arrests.

“To get a 41-kilo seizure, that’s extraordinary by anyone’s measure in any community in this country,” Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III said.
