A joint investigation by local and federal law enforcement uncovered a large-scale steroids ring in Irvine that may have distributed the drugs locally and internationally, Irvine police announced this week.
Carlos Hernandez, 27, and his wife, Roxanne, 30, allegedly produced and distributed the illegal substance from Irvine.
Authorities say they found 40 vials and 20,000 pills they believe to be steroids when they searched the couple's home.
Police seized equipment and chemicals they believe was used to convert powdered steroids into a liquid form and shipping material allegedly used to send the product across the U.S. and world, according to police.
Three handguns, a shotgun, a rifle, several large-capacity magazines and more than $6,000 cash were also taken at the scene, police said.
The investigation began in a Bay Area mail screening facility when U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel found four pounds of powdered steroids in two packages addressed to the couple's Irvine home.
