A Florida sheriff has described a massive drug bust as the television drama "Breaking Bad on steroids." Authorities seized 92,000 pounds of illegal substances with an estimated street value of $4.7 million.
The operation targeted a large-scale drug trafficking network. The seized materials included various chemicals and finished narcotics.
Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County made the "Breaking Bad" comparison. The reference is to a popular show about a chemistry teacher who becomes a drug manufacturer.
This seizure is one of the largest in the county's history. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities expect to make arrests.
