Two South Coast Residents Arrested On Drug Dealing Charges

Drugs, money seized by Santa Barbara County Sheriff's detectives as part of investigation of drug dealing on the South Coast

Detectives have arrested a South Coast couple they say was dealing everything from cocaine to heroin.

Robert Pilbin and Leslie Brooks were arrested at their Cota Street home in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara County Sheriff's investigators say they seized cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine from the couple's home, as well as more than $5,000 in cash they believe was linked to drug sales.

They think the duo had been working as dealers in the Santa Barbara and Goleta areas.
