 In a matter of three days, the Red Lake Police Department arrested 12 people while executing three drug-related search warrants in Red Lake. The department issued an overdose warning to community members on Friday, February 9 following an uptick in overdoses on the reservation. According to a post on its Facebook page, the Red Lake Police Department said it has been aggressive in investigating the selling of illegal drugs and its concentrated efforts on opiates and methamphetamine. The Red Lake Department of Public Safety served and executed three drug-related search warrants at three separate homes, resulting in 12 arrests in the seizure of heroin and methamphetamine and the recovery of stolen property. Children were also found at two of the three homes. All individuals were transported to the Red Lake Detention Facility and face tribal charges and some will be extradited for outstanding state felony warrants.
