Meth, thousands in cash and several stolen weapons were seized during a Buchanan County Drug Strike Force operation Thursday in St. Joseph.

According to the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department investigators from the Buchanan County Drug Strike Force and the Regional Special Response Team searched a home in the 1800 block of Mulberry St. in St. Joseph around 9 a.m. Thursday.

Two people were arrested at the home and more than 40 grams of methamphetamine with a street value of $4,000 was seized. Investigators also seized $60,000 in cash and several weapons from the residence.

Authorities said some of the weapons seized had previously been reported stolen.

“Long-term investigation, working with other agencies, developing information, just good long hard investigating work,” said Colonel Bill Puett with the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Dept.  “Any amount of methamphetamine we can get off the street is a benefit for the community.”

One of the suspects was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and for outstanding arrest warrants. Two other subjects were also arrested for outstanding arrest warrants.

The Saint Joseph Police Department obtained a second search warrant for the residence to search for stolen property.

The case has been referred to the Buchanan County Prosecutor’s Office for consideration of charges.
