Two people are facing charges after a robbery investigation that led to the seizure of a handgun and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fentanyl.
On June 25, police were called to a report of an armed robbery at a multi-unit residence near Manning Drive and Ebbers Boulevard.
The victim reported to police that he came to the home to make a purchase. When he arrived, the residents of the suite showed him a gun and took his money.
He was not injured.
A man and a woman in the suite were taken into custody without incident.
After executing a search warrant, police located a loaded handgun and five kilograms of fentanyl, with an estimated street value of $760,000.
“Five kilograms of fentanyl is a substantial seizure, and we are hopeful that it will significantly disrupt this distribution network,” said Staff Sgt.Ahmed Alkarout with the EPS Northeast Investigative Response Team in a written release. “Every amount of illegal fentanyl we can remove from city streets is certainly a life saved.”
