Multiple US, Canada Drug Raids Seize Fentanyl, Meth, Firearms, Arrest Over 20

Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. and Canada have recently conducted coordinated drug busts resulting in multiple arrests and the seizure of large quantities of drugs and illegal firearms. In Northern Arizona, a nine-month undercover operation led to 15 arrests and the confiscation of over 32 pounds of methamphetamine, fentanyl, grenades, and firearms, including fully automatic weapons. In Louisiana, authorities raided stores selling illegal kratom and intercepted a marijuana shipment, leading to arrests and efforts to revoke business licenses due to public safety concerns linked to fentanyl. Federal agents in Columbus, Ohio, charged a suspected Crips gang member after seizing approximately 15 kilograms of fentanyl, 30 kilograms of cocaine, firearms, and $60,000 in cash hidden in luggage. In Maine, drug raids yielded over a kilogram of methamphetamines, fentanyl, firearms, and the arrest of two individuals on trafficking charges. Similarly, Ontario police arrested four people after seizing fentanyl, methamphetamine, and drug trafficking paraphernalia during a search warrant execution.
