Arvin Police found $1.36 million worth of steroids in a home during an investigation on Tuesday, according to a news release from the Arvin Police Department.
At about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, a Kern County District Attorney investigator called police to the home in the 500 block of Peace Street. The investigator had been there for a follow-up on an unrelated case when he saw what he thought were narcotics and paraphernalia, according to the news release.

Arvin Police are searching for a person of interest who they believe is armed. The person of interest has been identified as Michael Robert Breitel, 29. He is described as white, 5 feet 6 inches tall and 210 pounds with short red hair and hazel eyes.
Anyone with information on this case is asked the Arvin Police Department at 854-5583.
