MODESTO (CBS13) — A couple driving with their 10-month-old baby was arrested with 26 pounds of heroin in a diaper box, Modesto Police said on Wednesday.

Israel Alcazar, 34, and his wife Isabel Soto-Mondragon, 20, were arrested just after 1 a.m. on Wednesday morning after a K-9 alerted officers to the scent of drugs in their car during a traffic stop.

Agents estimated the 26 pounds of pure, uncut heroin found in the diaper box has a street value over more than $2.3 million.

A search warrant served at the home turned up a gun, along with what investigators are calling other evidence of drug sales and $1,200 cash.

Child protective services took the 10-month-old child into protective custody.
