Late Tuesday night, detectives with the Moses Lake Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit, working with federal agents from the ATF, stopped a vehicle as part of an ongoing fentanyl investigation.

Two people were detained, and investigators later served several search warrants, resulting in the seizure of a large quantity of drugs, weapons, and cash, including:
2.5 pounds of fentanyl powder, 3,000 fentanyl-laced pills, cocaine, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, methamphetamine, and four firearmas.

Detectives also recovered more than $100,000 dollars in cash believed to be ties to drug trafficking.

Authorities say the investigation is still active, and no further details are being released at this time.
