SOUTH JORDAN — Salt Lake police detectives made a big Spice bust over the weekend.

Acting on information received from a prior case, investigators served a search warrant at a house at 12487 S. 1300 West, about 8 p.m. on Saturday. Detectives found 32 pounds of Spice and an additional 149 small containers with two grams of Spice each.

No one was immediately arrested in connection with the drug bust.

Earlier this year, Gov. Gary Herbert signed a bill outlawing the sale of Spice, also known as synthetic marijuana.
