Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Interdiction Section assisted U.S. Postal Inspector with a narcotics search warrant that nets considerable amount of narcotics, cash, and four handguns.
Just after 11 a.m. on 03/03/2017, detectives with the IMPD Interdiction Section met with U.S. Postal Inspectors to conduct a knock and talk investigation in the 4000 block of Pittman Place. While approaching this location, detectives could smell the odor of raw and burned marijuana. Detectives and the Inspector made contact with home owner. The Inspector had a parcel that was addressed to the home owner, this parcel had a positive canine hit on it for the presence of narcotics. With the homeowners consent the Postal Inspector opened the box and found a vacuum sealed package of suspected marijuana.
After obtaining consent to search and a search warrant for other areas of the residence, the following items were located:
- Approximately 8oz of suspected cocaine
