Gaston County police say they arrested three illegal aliens with $200,000 worth of methamphetamine in their possession.

Police say several children were present during the drug bust. They have since been taken into protective custody.

All three suspects were charged with trafficking methamphetamine by the Gaston County Police Department. Hernandez-Iturralde and Garcia are being held under a $250,000 bond. Garcia also had an outstanding deportation order when he was arrested, and is under an immigration hold as well.

Cabrea-Rivas is being held on a $275,000 bond and an immigration hold. He is a documented member of the street gang MS-13, and has an extensive criminal history.
