Officers executing an early Thursday morning search warrant spawned by the ongoing Rio Grande district law enforcement campaign made 24 drug arrests and seized a stolen handgun.
The 6 a.m. raid was carried out at a residence nearly 900 West and North Temple in Salt Lake City by officers of Utah Department of Public Safety’s Special Emergency Response Team, the State Bureau of Investigation, Utah Adult Probation and Parole and the Salt Lake City Police Department, DPS Commissioner Keith Squires stated.
Squires said the raid was directly related to drug trafficking in the nearby downtown Salt Lake City homeless district, just four blocks away from the home.
