I In July 2025, Ramsey County VCET and DEA were investigating a Mexican Based Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO) responsible for sending large quantities of methamphetamine into the United States and eventually Minnesota. During this investigation, an undercover officer was introduced to a local methamphetamine dealer. The Undercover Officer was able to purchase large quantities of methamphetamine at which time Law Enforcement was able to identify the dealer and his/her vehicle. The following week, Ramsey County VCET and DEA conducted a traffic stop and search warrant on the dealer which led to the discovery of nearly 900 pounds of methamphetamine. In July 2025, Ramsey County VCET and DEA conducted a narcotic related investigation into a methamphetamine distributor who was in possession of nearly 100 pounds of methamphetamine. Through an undercover operation, the distributor believed that he/she was going to meet a potential customer to sell the 100 pounds of methamphetamine. When the distributor arrived at the deal location, a traffic stop was conducted in which the vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. A driver and passenger eventually fled on foot in separate directions, while throwing a handgun into the bushes. One of the individuals was taken into custody, however the second was able to escape. DEA continued its investigation into the individual that escape until finally taking her/him into custody weeks later in another state. While being taken into custody, the individual was found to be in possession of a kilo of cocaine. In July 2025, Ramsey County VCET and DEA conducted an undercover operation into a known fentanyl and methamphetamine dealer. The dealer was known to travel outside of Minnesota and return with kilo quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl. On three separate occasions, Law Enforcement conducted undercover controlled buys of methamphetamine and fentanyl. A search warrant was executed on the dealer's home which resulted in the recovery of a large quantity of methamphetamine and fentanyl, along with several firearms. In August 2025, Ramsey County VCET and DEA conducted an undercover controlled buy into an unknown methamphetamine dealer. Further investigation into the now identified dealer led them to a neighboring state.
