HINKLEY, Calif. (KABC) -- Two men were charged for allegedly operating a methamphetamine lab in Hinkley with product worth $7.2 million.

Jorge Valdez, 34, and Miguel Angel Sanchez, 24, were booked in San Bernardino County Jail and are being held on $1 million bail, the state attorney general's office released Monday.

Both were charged with two felony counts for the manufacture and possession of methamphetamine.

On May 28, agents seized 206 lbs. of crystal methamphetamine and about 250 gallons of liquid methamphetamine, which can make 1,250 lbs. of crystal methamphetamine, during a raid in the 37000 block of Mountain View Road in Hinkley.
