AURORA, Ill. (WLS) -- Three men from Mexico and a Bolingbrook man face drug charges after Kane County Sheriff's detectives said they found nearly 160 pounds of cannabis in a Jeep in west suburban Aurora.

Around 1 p.m. Tuesday, deputies were in a parking lot near I-88 and Farnsworth Avenue when they saw an alleged drug deal between four men.

Sergio Delgadillo-Alvarez, 42; Ruben Guillen-Hernandez, 55; and Jamie Guillen-Hernandez, 63; all from Mexico, were arrested at the scene of the transaction after a Jeep drove away.
