Sheriff: I have never seen that many Meth labs in one location

meth The Wright County sheriff says a weekend drug raid in southern Missouri led to the discovery of 95 portable meth labs on a single property. The Sheriff’s facebook page said, ” I have never seen than many labs in one location.

Four people were arrested and more arrest may be possible as the investigation continues. A 2 year old child was removed from one of the residence which had active meth labs in it. The child was placed with the Children’s Division.

Numerous labs were located in the residences. One mobile home had 87 labs in progress. A total of 95 labs were taken from all the residences.

It was really dangerous. It wouldn’t have taken much to have an explosion due to all of the chemicals present. Task Force members had to wear breathing mask to remove the labs from the locations.”

It may be the largest meth bust in Missouri History.
