Grand Rapids, MI – A large-scale narcotics search in Kent County earlier this summer led to the seizure of guns, cash, and several controlled substances, authorities confirmed this week.
According to the Kent County Sheriff’s Office, the Kent Area Narcotics Enforcement Team (KANET) executed a search warrant that uncovered more than $9,000 in cash, three pistols—including two confirmed stolen firearms—and a variety of illegal narcotics. Among the drugs seized were 12 bottles of promethazine with codeine, a fentanyl-heroin mixture totaling 570 grams, and 600 grams of crack cocaine.
Officials said the operation was part of an ongoing effort to remove illegal drugs and firearms from Kent County neighborhoods. Federal and state asset forfeiture laws allow investigators to seize property and funds linked to drug trafficking, disrupting networks that profit from narcotics distribution and violence.
KANET emphasized that community tips play a key role in these investigations. Residents with information about drug trafficking or stolen firearms are urged to contact the Kent County Sheriff’s Office at 616-632-6125 or report anonymously through Silent Observer.
