The confiscation was made possible after the Dallas police followed a tip that led the officials to reach the 4300 block of Communications Drive on October 1. They were in search of a suspect who was reportedly believed to be involved in the trafficking of illegal drugs, as reported by the Dallas Police. A person has also been detained during the ongoing investigation.
The Dallas Police Department took to X and posted information about the confiscation. Deputy Chief Kylee Hawks, who holds the position of the South Patrol Group commander, said, “Getting any amount of drugs off the street is a win, and getting more than 160 kilos of meth off the street is a major success. Knowing this came from a tip means people want to help us make a difference in their community.”
The post also had attached images of the items seized. After the detainment and confiscation, the investigation is still ongoing, reports CBS News.
