Narcotics detectives from the Fresno County Sheriff's Office have arrested four individuals and confiscated a significant quantity of drugs, firearms, and cash from a property near a high school in Fresno. This action followed a tip received from Valley Crime Stoppers about alleged illegal drug sales in an open setting.
The investigation was conducted by the Special Investigations Task Force (SITF), Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium (MAGEC), Property Crimes Unit, High Impact Investigation Team (HIIT), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
On October 10th, detectives executed a search warrant at a location on N. Grantland Avenue. Approximately 100 people were present around a shop behind a residence. While most fled the scene, about 30 individuals were detained for questioning.
Detectives discovered that vendors frequently gathered at this site to sell drugs illegally under an event called "Sunday Funday," which has been occurring since early this year. The proximity to the high school raised concerns about student involvement.
Four adult men were arrested, and authorities seized four handguns along with various narcotics including:
- 400 lbs. of processed marijuana
- 120 lbs. of THC edibles
- 60 lbs. of concentrated cannabis
- 11 lbs. of THC vape products
- 112 oz. of Promethazine syrup
- 7 lbs. of Psilocybin mushrooms
- Small quantities of cocaine, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, DMT, and Alprazolam pills (Xanax)
Authorities urge anyone aware of illegal drug activities to report anonymously via the Narcotics Hotline or contact Crime Stoppers for potential cash rewards.
