RE: Detectives simultaneously serve four (4) search warrants at area convenience stores
Shortly after 2:00 PM today, Detectives and Officers of the Enid Police
Department served search warrants at four (4) local convenience stores
for violations of Title 63 of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous
Substances Act. Narcotics Detectives have been investigating
businesses that have been selling “glass tubes” which are commonly
used in the ingestion of illegal substances namely Crack Cocaine and
Methamphetamine.
Search warrants were served at Petes #2 510 N. 30th, GCS 2305 N.
Grand, Maine Street Mini-Mart 1602 E. Maine and D&T Convenience
Store #2 1030 E. Maine. Detectives seized numerous boxes of “glass
tubes” some containing a novelty item. “When you have literally
hundreds and hundreds of these glass tubes hidden behind the
sales counter but yet offer them for sale; there is really no doubt what
these will be used for, Capt. Grassino said”. They serve no other legal or
legitimate purpose. Why else would a business keep these items hidden.
Effective November 1st of 2010 the legislation it is illegal for a retailer to
offer for retail sale glass tubes as defined in Title 63 section 2-101.2.
The investigation is ongoing and Narcotics Detectives will be applying
for arrest warrants for the employees who sold these. “We anticipate
several arrest warrants to be issued as we continue this investigation,
Grassino said”.
Anyone having information that will lead to the arrest or prosecution of the crime or any other crime is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 233-6233 or go to the website, www.enid.org/police and submit a tip anonymously. You can earn a reward up to $1,000.00. You will not be required to testify and will not be identified
