SPOKANE, Wash. – A drug investigation led by the Regional Anti-Violence Enforcement and Narcotics Task Force (RAVEN) and the Spokane DEA Office resulted in multiple arrests and the seizure of drugs and money.
The investigation, spanning several months, ended on June 5 with search warrants executed at nine locations in Spokane, Olympia, and parts of Oregon and California.
Local law enforcement agencies, including the Spokane County SWAT team and the Spokane Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Office, assisted in the operation.
Among those arrested was a Mexican national charged in federal court with violating the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
Several suspects, believed to be key figures in the Drug Trafficking Organization responsible for bringing cocaine, meth, fentanyl pills, and fentanyl powder to Spokane, were also arrested and faced similar charges.
The operation resulted in the seizure of significant quantities of controlled substances and large sums of U.S. currency.
Authorities have stated that the investigation remains active, and additional charges or arrests may occur. Further details are withheld due to the ongoing nature of the case.
