Police reported seizing:
- 3.7 ounces of fentanyl
- 23.2 ounces of cocaine/ fentanyl
- 318 ecstasy pills containing fentanyl
- More than 3 ounces of crack cocaine

- Nearly 14 pounds of marijuana
- 482 oxycodone pills
- 12.8 ounces of THC gummies

Investigators noted that as little as 0.002 grams of fentanyl can be deadly.
Three suspects were arrested at the scene and are facing multiple charges. Their identities have not been released.
Police say the Real Time Crime Center is already changing how officers fight crime in the county by giving investigators real-time intelligence and coordination tools. Officials say the technology is helping them respond faster and build stronger cases.
“People who bring crime into DeKalb County are going to jail,” the department said.
