DAYTONA BEACH, FL — In a decisive move against local drug activity, the Daytona Beach Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit, backed by the department’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, executed a narcotics search warrant at 819 N Ridgewood Avenue earlier this week. The operation, part of an ongoing effort to dismantle illegal drug networks in the area, led to the detention of multiple individuals and the seizure of illicit narcotics from the property.
The raid was conducted with tactical precision during daylight hours, drawing attention from nearby residents who witnessed a significant law enforcement presence. Officers secured the perimeter before entering the residence, ensuring the safety of both the public and personnel involved. According to officials, the operation was the result of a sustained investigation into suspected drug trafficking activities at the location.
While authorities have not yet disclosed the identities of those detained or the specific types and quantities of narcotics recovered, they confirmed that the evidence collected will be critical in pursuing charges and further disrupting criminal operations in the area.
“This operation underscores our department’s commitment to proactive enforcement and community safety,” said a spokesperson for the Daytona Beach Police Department. “We will continue to target individuals and networks that pose a threat to our neighborhoods, and we encourage residents to report suspicious activity.”
The department emphasized that the collaboration between specialized units like Street Crimes and SWAT is vital in executing high-risk warrants safely and effectively. Community members are urged to remain vigilant and to support law enforcement efforts by sharing information that could aid ongoing investigations.
Further updates are expected as the case develops and charges are formally filed.
