OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - The Oklahoma City Police Department says a false burglar alarm in southwest OKC led to a drug bust.

OKCPD says one of its officers was checking out a burglar alarm near 23rd and Ann Arbor when the officer spotted a silver SUV speeding down the street. The driver then pulled behind a building and parked.
