DALLAS, TX – According to police, a tip submitted to Southwest Patrol Crime Response Team officers led to the seizure of more than 150 kilograms of methamphetamine, cash, and a firearm earlier this month.
On October 1, officers located a suspect believed to be trafficking narcotics in the 4300 block of Communications Drive. During a subsequent traffic stop, they discovered 162 kilograms of methamphetamine, approximately $100,000 in currency, and a handgun inside the vehicle. One person was detained as part of the ongoing investigation.
Deputy Chief Kylee Hawks, South Patrol Group commander, said, “Getting any amount of drugs off the street is a win, and getting more than 160 kilos of meth off the street is a major success. Knowing this came from a tip means people want to help us make a difference in their community.”
