Greg Croft, of the OIU, told News Center 7 that the agencies were executing multiple search warrants in the Springfield area as part of a months-long joint investigation.
The investigation was based on complaints the OIU and sheriff’s office received about possible illegal “marijuana and some other types of sales in and around some of these locations.”
Investigators have gathered evidence, and Croft said no one has been arrested as part of Thursday’s raids at this time.
