The Lee County Sheriff's Office Narcotics unit concluded a two month investigation Thursday- seizing five loaded guns, 150 rounds of ammunition, $16,500 in drugs, and more than 80 articles of stolen property. They arrested Tacuma Horrobin.
Sergeant Karl Albenga told Fox 4; "Mr. Horrobin is what I would consider a middle to upper level narcotics dealer."
Sergeant Albenga said getting a dealer off the streets may save lives;
"Heroin is a very big problem in our county. We've been experiences hero in overdose deaths the past couple months, so this I believe affected the community in a positive way."
But it's a community that needs more help, according to neighbor Wayne Ash. Ash has lived in Lehigh for years, raised his children here, and told Fox 4 he thinks things just keep getting worse.
"Crime has doubled or tripled out here in Lehigh."
