A month-long investigation into illegal drug activity at two Mississippi businesses concluded Thursday morning with three arrests and a significant seizure of evidence.
Senatobia Police, assisted by the Mississippi Alcoholic Beverage Commission, executed search warrants about 9 a.m. at 51 Tobacco and Beer in Senatobia and another location. According to authorities, the investigation focused on the selling and possession of illegal narcotics at the two stores.
During the raids, officers recovered roughly two dozen large boxes of evidence, several thousand dollars in cash, five cars, and a motorcycle. Officials have not revealed the specific drugs or substances found.
The operation resulted in the arrest of three men: Sultan Alsnei (39), Ismail Shahtera (30), and Abdulrahman Shahtera (35). They face charges for the sale and possession of illegal narcotics, as well as conspiracy to commit crimes.
The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be filed.
