FLORENCE, SC (WBTW) – A raid at a Florence motel led narcotics investigators to numerous drugs and the arrests of two suspects, according to the Florence County Sheriff’s Office.
Major Mike Nunn with the sheriff’s office says a one-month undercover investigation led narcotics investigators and Florence County Sheriff’s Office SWAT to a motel on Highway 52 North, near the intersection of I-95, on Thursday. Officials did not name the motel.
Agents executed a “no knock” search warrant on the motel room and found crack cocaine, cocaine, heroin, crystal methamphetamine, ecstasy, and marijuana, confirms Major Nunn.
