GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Kent Area Narcotics Team has rounded up 11 pounds of cocaine, more than one-and-a-half pounds of fentanyl and a loaded handgun.
They say officers from the Wyoming, Grandville, and Walker police departments did that recently while executing a search warrant on Grand Rapids' southeast side. The drugs carry an estimated street value of more than $1 million.
Here are more details from Kent County Sheriff's Office news release:
This large seizure—achieved through local investigative efforts—is a strong example of the work being done by KANET detectives to target drug traffickers operating within our county.
“This was a result of our detectives working relentlessly to keep deadly drugs off the street,” said KCSO Detective Lieutenant Rob Porter. “KANET continues to make a significant impact through targeted local enforcement efforts each day - efforts that are directly saving lives.”
Fentanyl continues to be one of the deadliest drugs encountered in our community. If you suspect drug trafficking or related activity, contact law enforcement. Every tip matters in keeping our neighborhoods safe.
