Using undercover operations to infiltrate and gather real-time intelligence, the Sheriff’s Office said it was able to make the arrests and seize two semi-automatic handguns, numerous knives, over $100,000 in assets (cash and vehicle), over a pound of Methamphetamine, over an ounce of fentanyl and heroin, as well as multiple pounds of illicit marijuana and concentrated THC products.
“Criminal activity will not be tolerated by the law-abiding citizens of our county, nor the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office,” said Sheriff Bill Leeper. “If you know of anyone selling illegal drugs in our community or is engaging in illegal activity, please let us know.”
