Kitsap Deputies Discover Active Meth Lab During Bremerton Arrest Warrant

Law enforcement agencies in Bremerton, Washington, dismantled an active methamphetamine lab during the service of an arrest warrant at a residence on Northwest Lakeview Drive. A 44-year-old man was found in a canopy storage area and workshop outside the home, where officers discovered completed meth product and a methamphetamine manufacturing lab. The Washington State Department of Corrections officers requested assistance from the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office, Bremerton Police, and the Washington State Patrol, which deployed a laboratory takedown team to secure evidence and safely remove hazardous materials. A trained drug-detecting K-9 named Mayhem assisted in locating multiple drug-related areas within the workshop. The suspect was taken into custody on the arrest warrant, and the investigation into the meth lab remains ongoing. The area was closed off during the operation due to the risks posed by hazardous chemicals involved in meth production.
