SANFORD — Three illegal immigrants remain jailed in connection with what may be the biggest cocaine bust ever for the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

Lawmen found 11 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of $2.5 million when they searched a home on Blackstone Road on Saturday, said Chief Deputy Randall Butler.

“It may be the most cocaine seized at one time in Lee County,” Butler said. “If not, it’s close.”

The arrests followed a six-week investigation, Butler said.

Victor Manuel Gomez, 27, and Juan Carlos Frausto, 17, who live in the house, and Francisco Regollar, 27, of Atlanta are charged with trafficking cocaine, keeping a drug house and possessing drug paraphernalia, Butler said.

Deputies also found “a couple hundred dollars” and three guns at the residence, Butler said.

At least three other people, including a child, were in the home when it was searched, he said.

The cocaine was packaged in tightly wrapped squares about the size of a shoe box, Butler said.

The three will be reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Butler said.

Bail for each was set at $500,000, Butler said.
