“Tenacious deputies committed to keeping the streets of Placer County safe followed up on an investigation that ended in the arrest of four individuals for possession of illegal firearms and narcotics.

There, they located numerous glass pipes used to smoke illicit substances, multiple plastic baggies containing methamphetamine, two sawed-off shotguns, several live rounds of ammunition, digital scales with an unknown substance on them, numerous hypodermic needles and related drug paraphernalia, two plastic baggies containing fentanyl, and several bags of marijuana.
