Police called it "Operation Crystal Clear," and it lived up to its name.

330 pounds of methamphetamine were cleared off the streets in just the last week. It's the largest seizure of methamphetamine in the history of the Central Valley.

The sting originated in Merced. From there the operation spread to the Bay Area and Southern California.

Eleven people were arrested. Many of them are Mexican Nationals.

The District Attorney says they face over 20 in prison. The suspects that aren't U.S. citizens will likely be deported.
