Two suspects were arrested Friday after the Callaway County Sheriff's Office and the MUSTANG drug task force executed a Callaway County narcotics-related search warrant, according to Sheriff's Sgt. Curtis Hall.
The incident took place in the 4200 block of Dean Place near Millersburg. The search warrant was issued as a result of a joint narcotics investigation conducted by the Callaway County Sheriff's Office and MUSTANG.
During the search warrant execution, several items of narcotics were located, including methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. A Honda Rancher ATV, previously reported stolen to the Callaway County Sheriff's Office, also was recovered at the scene.
"The drug trade and thefts go hand-in-hand," Lt. Clay Chism said.
Later in the afternoon, the Callaway County Sheriff's Office and MUSTANG executed another search warrant at a storage facility in Auxvasse where several additional stolen items were recovered.
Two people were arrested as a result of the investigation and taken to the Callaway County Jail.
