Another suspect rammed an armored vehicle trying to get away.

Police seized the following once they breached the location:

  • 14.75 lbs. of Marijuana
  • 18.72 oz of Ecstasy
  • 18.92 oz of Cocaine/Fentanyl mix
  • 12.07 oz of Crack Cocaine
  • Counterfeit M30 Pills
  • Fentanyl, Percocet & Oxycodone
  • 6 Firearms
