A win for Quinn - drug bust in Burien arrests distributor operating through much of King county

Last month, following a tip from Burien Police, the King County Sheriff's Office arrested a drug trafficker linked to El Pique Mexican Restaurant in Burien. The investigation uncovered his extensive distribution network across cities like Woodinville, SeaTac, and Bellevue. Authorities confiscated 1. 07 pounds of methamphetamine and cocaine, a stolen 9mm handgun, and over $51,000 in cash from drug sales. The suspect also utilized a 2020 Mustang for his trafficking operations.

This significant bust underscores the ongoing challenges local law enforcement faces in tackling drug-related crime throughout King County. Previous operations have similarly targeted drug distribution networks, emphasizing the need for persistent vigilance. As officials continue to address this issue, community safety remains a priority. Local residents can expect increased patrols and enforcement actions in the wake of this arrest.
