St. Louis, MO – Police say a coordinated investigation between the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) led to the seizure of multiple weapons, cash, and suspected narcotics in the city’s Dutchtown neighborhood.
According to the SLMPD, the bust occurred last month following an investigation into alleged drug trafficking activity in the area. The 3rd District officers worked alongside federal agents to recover the illegal items.
Authorities praised the joint effort, noting that the seizure removes dangerous drugs and firearms from neighborhood streets. “Our community is safer with these drugs and weapons off our streets,” the department stated in a social media post Monday.
No arrests or additional details were immediately released, and the investigation remains ongoing. Residents in Dutchtown are encouraged to report suspicious activity to police as part of ongoing efforts to combat local drug networks.
