Two individuals were arrested after a Placer County Sheriff's K9 unit discovered a bag of suspected meth hidden inside a loaf of sourdough bread on September 21, behind a grocery store in North Auburn. The search was prompted by signs of drug use, and K9 Axel's keen senses found the hidden drugs, CBS News Sacramento reports.

The loaf of sourdough surprisingly concealed the narcotics, which were revealed when it was opened. Deputies also found other items in the car indicating an intent to sell drugs. Both occupants, who showed signs of stimulant use, were arrested after the meth was discovered inside the bread, FOX40 News detailed.

After their arrest, the two face felony charges for possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and for being under the influence. Their identities remain undisclosed. The substance will be analyzed to confirm its composition, and the suspects will face legal consequences.
