BELL -- Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies raided a house Friday night on property owned by the mayor of Bell.
Mayor Oscar Hernandez owns the property at 3700 Bell Avenue where a meth lab was reportedly found.
The property has two houses. The mayor's son and daughter live in the front house, and the back house was being rented.
Mayor Hernandez's son, Agustin, told KTLA that a Sheriff's deputy showed up at his door this morning with his gun drawn. But they quickly realized the address on the warrant was for the back house.
Hernandez said a couple with two daughters, ages 2 and 3, are renting the two-bedroom house, and the young mother is about 8 months pregnant. He also said the parents of one of the renters is also living in the house.
The two children were placed with the Department of Children and Family Services.
Hernandez said they didn't know much else about the family. Mayor Hernandez said neither he, nor any members of his family, have any ties to the suspects, other than they are renters in a house he owns.
A hazardous materials team was on site early Saturday morning, and Sheriff's officials confirmed that a narcotics operation did take place at the residence.
