Kent County, MI – Authorities in Kent County announced a significant narcotics and firearms seizure following a summer-long investigation by the Kent Area Narcotics Enforcement Team (KANET).
According to the Kent County Sheriff’s Office, KANET executed a search warrant that led to the recovery of multiple controlled substances and weapons. Investigators reported seizing 150 grams of crack cocaine, 370 grams of powder cocaine, a quantity of heroin/fentanyl mixture, and pressed methamphetamine pills. Deputies also confiscated more than $17,000 in alleged drug sale proceeds.
In addition to the narcotics, officers reportedly recovered seven firearms, including an AR-style pistol and a Glock handgun equipped with a “switch” — an illegal device that converts a semi-automatic weapon into a fully automatic firearm.
Authorities said the seizure underscores the link between narcotics trafficking and gun violence. “These are not victimless crimes,” the Sheriff’s Office noted in a statement. “They destroy families, fuel overdoses, and endanger innocent people’s lives.”
KANET continues to target drug and firearm activity across Kent County, working alongside local and regional law enforcement agencies. Anyone with information about illegal drug or firearm activity is urged to contact KANET or submit an anonymous tip through Silent Observer.
