On Sunday, the Lewisville Police Department seized almost 600 lbs of methamphetamine; one of their largest drug busts in the department’s history.
According to reports, at approximately 3 p.m. on Feb. 23, Lewisville Police Department K-9 Officer Pat Robey received a call to assist another agency with an anonymous tip about a suspicious tractor-trailer located near a major highway.
Once on scene, Officer Robey deployed his K-9 partner Stryker to conduct a free air sniff of the tractor-trailer.
“K-9 Stryker alerted to the presence of narcotics. Officer Robey offered the Lewisville Police Department as a safe location to continue the search of the tractor-trailer,” said the department in their statement.
Officer Robey then further assisted in the search, and officers located the methamphetamine in a hidden compartment.
The estimated street value of the seized narcotics is more than $1.2 million. This was also the largest drug bust in K-9 Stryker’s career.
