The Sault Ste. Marie Police Department and Chippewa County Sheriff's Office issued the following release on social media today.

Trident-Sault Ste. Marie PD-Chippewa County Sheriff's Office bust major methamphetamine dealers and stolen property ring

All agencies worked together on Friday, November 22 working on multiple criminal investigations. Trident had already been working on the methamphetamine investigation when stolen property investigations connected the same suspects.

The investigations led law enforcement to execute multiple search warrants.

The investigation led to the seizure of approximately 8 ounces (half a pound) of methamphetamine, several thousand dollars of U.S. currency, a firearm, a stolen trailer and other stolen property related to several other criminal investigations.

The investigation led to the following arrested persons and their charges:

The suspected stolen items are items you would often see in areas ranging from cabins, houses, businesses, yards, tool sheds and active construction areas, including scrap metal. Most of the items, law enforcement did not have known victims for. If you have any specific items you may be missing and have a good description or better yet photographs, please contact Det Moran at CCSO. 906-635-6355

Great work by all of our LE agencies.
