A drug investigation led by the Burien Police Department’s Special Emphasis Team (SET) has resulted in another major seizure, marking the latest development in an ongoing operation authorities have code-named “Eastbound and Down,” according to the department.
As we previously reported, Burien Police seized more than 100 pounds of narcotics and made four arrests last week with assistance from K9 Quinn. Authorities said detectives served another warrant on Tuesday and arrested an additional suspected drug trafficker.
The individual was booked into the Snohomish County Jail with bail set at $500,000 dollars.
During the latest warrant service, officers recovered 11.8 pounds of methamphetamine, 6 pounds of fentanyl powder, 1.2 pounds of cocaine and 223.6 grams of heroin. Investigators also seized $55,959 in suspected drug proceeds and an Audi A6 allegedly used for narcotics distribution.
Police estimate the total street value of the narcotics recovered at $1.63 million.
The operation involves local and regional partners and continues to target drug trafficking activity affecting Burien and surrounding south King County communities.
