Drugs, guns, $1.6M found during raid of Oregon game park, over 300 animals relocated

Investigators who seized more than 300 animals during the search of a troubled animal safari park on the Southern Oregon Coast say they also found meth, about $1.6 million in cash and bonds, and dozens of firearms.
