Grand Rapids Police Department

On September 3, GRPD executed a search warrant at an area residence that resulted in the seizure of almost $1.2 million in cash, over a kilo of cocaine, vehicles, and an illegally-possessed firearm. An adult male was arrested in conjunction with the warrant execution. “The GRPD Vice Unit has been working diligently on this investigation for several months,” said Chief Eric Winstrom. “This seizure represents a significant disruption to the drug trade in the Grand Rapids metro area, to the benefit and safety of everyone in our community. It is the largest amount of cash recovered in recent memory—and perhaps in history—by GRPD. This is the direct result of the excellent work of our Vice Unit detectives and our law enforcement partners.” As with any seizure of property connected to illegal activity, the money and vehicles will now go through the civil asset forfeiture process.

Today we remember and honor the countless lives lost on September 11, 2001. We stand in solidarity with all those affected by this tragedy. Let us never forget the bravery and resilience shown on that fateful day. #NeverForget #September11
