PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police say they seized 10 pounds of heroin worth up to $1.5 million believed to have been transported to Oregon from Arizona.

Police said Monday the seizure last week resulted from an investigation that began with a tip about two months ago.

Three men facing various drug charges following the bust were identified as 33-year-old Sergio Aguilar Sahagun, 38-year-old Roman Aguilar Rocha, and 29-year-old Edgar Curiel Guzman.

Police said they believe the heroin came from Phoenix and could have been used to make more than 72,000 separate illegal drug sales on the street in the Portland area.
