posted (January 5, 2015)
Over the Holiday, the Gang Suppression Unit has been out on the patrol, and they've managed to make several ammunition and drug seizures.

On Saturday, January 3, 2015, the GSU conducted searches in the Conch-shell Bay Area, which is known base for the concealment and sale of large quantities of marijuana. The team ended up finding 10 live rounds of .223 ammunition used in high powered military weapons, such as for an AR-15 rifle or a M-16 rifle. No one was in the area, and so, it was deposited as found property.

And on Last week Sunday, December 28, GSU search teams made 3 separate drug seizures. It started at around 1 p.m. when officers were on Tigris Street. They searched an empty lot, and found 10 transparent bags and a black plastic bag, each containing cannabis, which were hidden under a coconut tree. The total weight was determined to be 1.214 kilograms, or 2.68 pounds, which were all deposited as found property.

Then at about half hour later, officers searched an abandoned lot and found a marijuana plant, measuring 3 feet in length. Again no one was in the area, and so, it was deposited as found property.

They then searched an abandoned house on the same street. In the ceiling, the officers found 3 back plastic bags, each containing high-grade weed, and 3 other parcels of hydro-type marijuana.

It was weighed and the amount was determined to be 1,459 grams, or 3.2 pounds. Again, it was labelled as found property.
