According to the sheriff’s office, Vice-Narcotics detectives executed a search warrant on June 10 at a home in the 200 block of Northwood Drive outside of Whiteville after investigators previously bought drugs from one of the suspects.
During the search, investigators seized an unspecified amount of methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, as well as digital scales, packaging materials, and hypodermic needles.
Three of the suspects were arrested and taken to jail, while one of the suspects, due to a medical condition, was issued a criminal summons.
