Four arrested after 30 pounds of meth, dozens of animals seized from Oklahoma City home

Four people are in custody after Oklahoma City police seized approximately 30 pounds of methamphetamine and removed dozens of animals from a home in southeast Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Police executed what they confirmed was a drug-related search warrant at a home near Southeast 15th Street and High Avenue. Authorities have not released information about what led investigators to the residence.

Drug Investigation Leads to Large Seizure

According to the Oklahoma City Police Department, officers recovered approximately 30 pounds of methamphetamine from the home during the search.

Police said at least four people were taken into custody. Authorities have not released the identities of those arrested or any related charges.

Numerous Animals Removed From Property

Alongside the drug investigation, Oklahoma City Animal Welfare officers assisted in removing numerous animals from the property.

News 9 cameras captured at least 20 dogs being taken from the home, including one wearing a muzzle. Police said a horse, cats, chickens and snakes were also removed.

Neighbors watched as officers spent hours at the residence.

“This is crazy. Like this is literally crazy,” said Nisha who lives nearby.

Another resident said she saw several people in handcuffs but did not initially know what was happening.

“I saw a couple men in handcuffs. I had no idea what was going on until my neighbor,” Dora Garcia said.

Neighbors say they were aware the home had dogs but were shocked by everything else discovered.

“I knew they had dogs. Everybody over here knew they had dogs, but the rest of this is just mind-boggling,” Nisha said.

She also expressed concern about how close the investigation was to her homes.

“Too close for comfort. Way too close for comfort,” Nisha said.

Investigation Continues

Police said the search warrant was related to a drug investigation but have not released additional details about why officers targeted the home.

The investigation remains ongoing. Oklahoma City police said additional information about those in custody is expected to be released as it becomes available.
