These sensational photos were taken after the Mexican police raided a local drug lord’s house. The PGR (Mexico’s office of La Procuraduría General de la República) pulled off a successful raid of a property in Mexico City. Similar to a scene from a Hollywood movie the Mexican police found stacks of cash and weapons… but my god… we are not talking about a few thousand dollars in cash!
It would seem being a producer of methamphetamine can be a lucrative trade. If the police had not raided the house and arrest the drug lord, crime would have most definitely paid for him. Well it did for so long and I am sure he had plenty more stashed away in case of this happening.
Police found a gun a with golden Virgin Mary on the handle.

Many of the guns were made from or with gold..

His gun collection was probably bigger than most museum’s.

This adorable home was bought entirely with drug money.

A hot tub wasn’t enough, he had to have a cave style grotto around it.
amjones58
They found a lot of exotic large animals.
amjones58
There were EIGHT lions on his property! Yes… Eight!.
amjones58
He also owned a very rare white tiger.

Police also found a lot of rare and stolen art throughout the property. Stolen? There was enough cash to buy a lot of art as you will soon see…
amjones58
More guns were found….
amjones58
They found a pile of cash they believe was approximately $18 billion.
amjones58
After it was all counted they found it was around 22 billion dollars. That is a lot, enough to buy that stolen art anyway!.
amjones58
They found more guns!

When the police do raids like this they are trained to look for hidden cash, drugs and weapons… they can be hidden anywhere…
amjones58
amjones58
They found cash stored everywhere…
amjones58
Cash was crammed into any spare space…

Selling drugs can be very profitable for these criminals, it seems crime does pay for some.
amjones58
amjones58
They made so much money their personal protection was made from gold and silver.
amjones58
If that doesn’t look like a scene from an ‘over the top’ Hollywood film then I doesn’t know what does.
amjones58
Well here it is, crime DOES pay, however don’t expect to be living like a lord for long. Piles of cash, rare art, exotic animals and golden guns may be nice but you cannot amass that amount without raising suspicion or enjoying it for long.
