Los Santos: On July 30th, detectives of the Gang and Narcotics Division and officers of the Metropolitan Division's D Platoon executed a search warrant on a trailer home during an operation, resulting in large quantities of seized contraband.

Detectives of the Gang and Narcotics Division's Major Enforcement Section conducted a surveillance operation, producing sufficient information and evidence to pursue and get signed a search warrant for the home on which they were conducting surveillance, which was confirmed to have been associated with the organization known as "Lost MC".

Produced by the executed search warrant were over four kilos of narcotics, over one hundred weapon attachments, over twenty armor vests, and over one hundred weapons, including but not limited to a musket, a combat light machine gun, and a sniper rifle. An exhaustive list of seized contraband is provided at the bottom of this release.

Despite the quantity of recovered and seized contraband, officers were met with no resistance beyond the presence of spectators, resulting in a swift entry and exit.

An exhaustive list of contraband seized from the property by detectives is as follows:
  • 4 Class 3 Firearms
  • 64 Class 2 Firearms
  • 44 Class 1 Firearms
  • 16,467 rounds of various types of ammunition

  • 21 pieces of body armor

The total sum of seizures has been estimated to be upwards of $6,500,000.
