30 people were arrested on Thursday by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office as a result of a year-long methamphetamine investigation.
On October 15, the Washington County Westside Interagency Narcotics Team, with the cooperation of federal, state and local agencies, executed 18 search warrants around the metropolitan area.
The investigation began more than a year ago, according to police. Investigators learned a drug trafficking organization that was transporting methamphetamine from Washington County to Mexico.
Police then found that the drug-trafficking organization was widespread, affecting more than five counties. 12 search warrants were served on Thursday, along two more that were served on Friday and four others that were served previously.
While serving the warrants, officials seized more than 26 lbs. of methamphetamine, 19 firearms, approximately $90,000 in cash and cocaine.
Police also found what they said was a large cockfighting operation at a property on SW Farmington Road. During a search of the property on Thursday, investigators found more than 1,600 chickens, most of which were used for cockfighting.
There was also a vast amount of stolen property found at various locations, including guns and a $3,000 bicycle.
66 people were investigated as part of the probe, leading to the arrest of 30 individuals.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office worked with 20 other law enforcement organizations as part of the probe, including the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the FBI, the Portland Police Bureau and the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, among others.
