The County of Macomb Enforcement Team (COMET) executed the five search warrants on Saturday, Aug. 5.
This resulted in the seizure of crack cocaine and over 19,000 pills, including methamphetamine, that were pressed to look like prescription Adderall and Xanax pills.
In addition, the following items were also seized:
- two pistols
- a semi-automatic rifle
- Three 30-round magazines

- $145,000 in criminal drug proceeds
One suspect was arrested. The investigation pends a prosecutor's review.
The Warren, Chesterfield Township and Roseville police departments assisted COMET.
"This is another example of police agencies working together to not only get these deadly drugs off our street but also several illegal guns," said MSP Lt. Mike Shaw. "If you know of illegal drug activity in Macomb County, give COMET a call on their tip line 586.790.3990."
