Last week, Pittsburg PD’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) served a search warrant at a residence here in town.
The warrant was the result of a collaborative investigation with an outside law enforcement agency, combined with some solid investigative work by our SIU detectives.
During the search, detectives located nearly a quarter-pound of suspected heroin, additional suspected methamphetamine, a firearm and cash.
The suspect was arrested and, as it turns out, was already prohibited from possessing firearms. Apparently, the “prohibited” part wasn’t clear enough. We helped clear that up.
More importantly, another suspected drug dealer is off the street, a firearm is out of the hands of someone who legally shouldn’t have had it, and hopefully the neighbors can enjoy a little less traffic at all hours of the day and night.
No more customers. No more doorbell. No more neighborhood pharmacy.
Nice work, SIU.
