Chicago, IL – Chicago Police say a six-month narcotics investigation led to the recovery of multiple firearms and more than $4 million worth of suspected drugs from a residence tied to gang activity earlier this month.
According to the Chicago Police Department’s Gang Investigation Division, the search warrant was executed on January 10, 2026, at the home of 36-year-old Travis Taylor, a convicted felon allegedly involved in large-scale narcotics trafficking across Chicago and nearby suburbs.
During the operation, investigators seized suspected narcotics valued at approximately $4.3 million, five firearms, and $54,000 in cash. The haul included large quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, ecstasy, and ketamine.
Police said Taylor was arrested and now faces numerous felony charges, including:
- Manufacturing and delivery of over 900 grams of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl.
- Delivery of over 30 grams of ketamine and 900+ grams of ecstasy.
- Manufacturing and delivery of 2,000–5,000 grams of cannabis.
- Possession of a controlled substance.
- Five counts of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.
Authorities credited the Gang Investigation Division for removing the drugs and weapons from circulation, saying the case marks a significant disruption to local narcotics trafficking networks.
