St. Louis, MO – Two men were arrested and more than $26,000 in cash were seized after St. Louis police and SWAT officers executed a search warrant tied to an ongoing fraud investigation in the city’s Downtown West neighborhood earlier this month.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, detectives from the Second District, working alongside federal partners, carried out the warrant as part of a broader investigation into check fraud and stolen identity operations.
Authorities said the search turned up four firearms, ammunition, and cash believed to be connected to fraudulent activity. Photos shared by the department show handguns, rifles, and stacks of money recovered during the operation.
The two suspects were charged by the Circuit Attorney’s Office, though their names and specific charges were not immediately released.
Police emphasized that the investigation remains active and ongoing, noting that federal collaboration continues as part of a wider effort to address financial fraud in the St. Louis region.
