"The seizure of 2,700 pounds of meth represents a substantial disruption to the supply chain operating within mountain and valley communities across the region. Eight people were arrested in conjunction with the bust, including one individual who was reportedly on the National Terrorist Watch List."
"Through collaborative investigative efforts, we were able to significantly disrupt an alleged narcotic trafficking network operating within our communities. This operation demonstrates the effectiveness of coordinated federal, state, and local law enforcement partnerships in addressing drug manufacturing and distribution."
"The investigation began following an October report of illegal dumping in Calaveras County, and authorities found what they believed to be a significant volume of byproducts of a drug lab, which ultimately led them to the lab in question."
Federal agents conducted a major drug enforcement operation in Northern California on February 27, seizing 2,700 pounds of methamphetamine in various production stages. The investigation began after an October report of illegal dumping in Calaveras County led authorities to discover drug lab byproducts. Eight suspects were arrested, including one individual on the National Terrorist Watch List. The operation also recovered 12 firearms, over 1,000 ammunition rounds, 1,900 marijuana plants, and 100+ pounds of processed cannabis. Related facilities were busted in Turlock and Modesto. Law enforcement credited coordinated federal, state, and local partnerships for disrupting the regional narcotic trafficking network and supply chain.
