San Jose police last week arrested a husband and wife and seized a cache of drugs worth about $2 million, along with guns and cash during the raid of a crack house operation, the police deparment said Tuesday.

Tri Pham, 51, and Jenny Pham, 46, were arrested Sept. 4 in the operation of multiple drug houses to manufacture, transport and sell cocaine base, or crack cocaine, in the 1100 block of Bendmill Way and the 100 block of Maro Drive, police said.

After a months-long investigation, multiple SJPD units converged on the homes and served arrest and search warrants, police said.
