Investigators Seize Over $178,000 And 100 Pounds Of Marijuana
On March 18, members of the DEA Rockford Resident Office and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Police Narcotics Task Force observed a 2008 Dodge pick-up truck leave a suspect location in Cary, Illinois. A McHenry County Sheriff’s Police K-9 Officer conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and subsequently recovered $170,740 hidden inside the cab.
The following day, investigators observed another individual leave the location, at which time a McHenry County Sheriff’s Police K-9 Officer stopped the vehicle and the K-9 alerted to the presence of narcotics inside the trunk. A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of 50 pounds of high-grade cannabis and $1,044. An eventual search of the residence located in the 800 block of Harper Court, Cary, Illinois resulted in the seizure of an additional 50 pounds of high-grade cannabis, $8,000, scales, and packaging materials.
