 The Kent Area Narcotics Enfocement Team (KANET) recently ended an investigation into a multi-state drug ring which resulted in the seizure of over $240,000.00 in cash, two houses, 35 firearms and several vehicles including a 2008 Honda
Ridgeline, a 2009 Honda Ridgeline and a 1999 Harley Davidson Fatboy were seized.
According to this press release from KANET, this criminal organization was
responsible for distributing over 3000 pounds of marijuana since 2008. The value of the
marijuana is at least $3,600,000.00 and was being sold in pound quantities in the greater Kent
County area and Leroy, MI. The marijuana was purchased in Albuquerque, NM and smuggled in
cars and trucks to Grand Rapids MI, Belding MI and Leroy MI. The investigation culminated in
January 2009 with the arrest of the Rene Jimenez-Saenz, the Albuquerque, NM marijuana source
of supply.
The pictures below show some of the seized drugs, money and guns. You can also download the full press release here or read the story from the Grand Rapids Press.
