Authorities arrested seven people, including a Chinese couple, who were inside the house where they also found drugs, weapons and vehicles, El Universal newspaper said.

Wads of hundreds of dollar were stacked in drawers, suitcases and closets around the house, according to reports.

Reforma newspaper said the search warrant was part of a drug trafficking and money laundering investigation started by federal authorities in 2006. Unidentified sources told the paper that those arrested were linked to Colombian drug lords.
