Indianapolis Metro police found a large stash of marijuana in a drug bust Friday at an apartment on Indianapolis' northwest side.

More than 100 pounds of marijuana and a stash of weapons were found during the bust near 47th Street and Georgetown Road, 6News' Cheryl Jackson reported.

Juan Teran, 39, faces charges of drug possession and dealing. An undercover officer said he made a deal with Teran to purchase 10 pounds of marijuana, but officers found much more.

Police found Teran after another alleged drug dealer identified him.

"He provided us information that led to the seizure of this 100 pounds worth of raw marijuana," said IMPD Officer Todd Wellman.

Neighbors told 6News that there were a lot of visitors to the apartment where the drugs were found.

"We did also seize … several identifications we believe to be false or aliases, in addition to a small amount of crack cocaine," Wellman said.

According to police, the drugs they seized have a street value of about $100,000.

"To be able to clean up a small apartment complex, as well as part of the west side of Indianapolis, is phenomenal," Wellman said.

Police said they think Teran had at least two accomplices and that they are looking for them.
