A trio arrested on Friday for allegedly burying guns and drugs underneath a dog house faced a judge on Saturday.

Police say Alma Martinez, Joel Martinez and Nathaniel Foster allegedly dug a hole in the backyard of their home to hide several illegal items.

Authorities reported finding several pounds of marijuana, pills, cocaine, guns and ammunition during a raid at their South 34th Street home.

Police made the find after receiving numerous complaints and tips to the Edinburg Crime Stoppers hotline about illegal activity at the house.

All three were charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana.

Their bonds were each set at $105,000 dollars.
