A three-month narcotics investigation in Oxnard led to the arrest of a 52-year-old man and the discovery of large quantities of drugs, illegal firearms and more than 20 dogs kept in what authorities described as inhumane conditions, according to the Oxnard Police Department and the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives from the Sheriff’s Special Crimes Unit and Oxnard police served a search warrant around 10 a.m. on Sept. 19 at a residence in the 2000 block of North Ventura Road, the agencies said in a joint statement. Inside, officers seized nearly $11,000 in cash and about 2.2 pounds of fentanyl, enough for an estimated 51,350 potentially lethal doses. They also recovered more than six ounces of cocaine, along with methamphetamine, heroin and evidence of narcotics sales.
