🐾K9 Tessa’s Nose Leads to Major Drug Seizure

K9 Tessa’s alert during a traffic stop in Apache Junction helped detectives uncover a larger narcotics operation and seize significant quantities of illegal drugs.

After Tessa alerted to the presence of narcotics inside a vehicle near Broadway and Meridian, detectives expanded the investigation to a residence in Mesa, where a search warrant resulted in the seizure of additional drugs.

Items seized:
✔️ 5.89 pounds of methamphetamine
✔️ 2.16 pounds of fentanyl powder
✔️ 1.80 ounces of he**in
✔️ 4,290 fentanyl M30 pills
✔️ $2,110 in U.S. currency
✔️ 1 vehicle

Tessa’s alert helped detectives uncover a larger drug operation supplying narcotics to Apache Junction and remove thousands of dangerous doses from our community.

This is just one example of the incredible work K9 Tessa is doing across the Valley, helping law enforcement agencies identify narcotics, support investigations, and keep communities safe.
