Burien Police / King County Sheriff’s Office are reporting that recently, undercover detectives made a traffic stop on a vehicle suspected of delivering narcotics to communities throughout southwest King County, including Burien.

In addition to the drugs, police say that the driver was armed with a semiautomatic handgun.
