Police seized drugs and dozens of boxes of electronics Friday from a Paulding County home in a large-scale bust, officials said.
Two people are in custody following the raid, according to Daniel Sims, a special agent with the GBI.
The GBI’s drug task force, along with the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, recovered marijuana and other drugs from the home on Silverthorne Circle in Douglasville, according to Paulding sheriff’s Sgt. Ashley Henson.
Police also found boxes of computers, printers and electronics and removed them from the home.
The identities of the suspects have not been released.
Officers were originally called to the home Thursday afternoon after a neighbor reported “drug activity.”
“They discovered a strong odor of marijuana,” Henson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and secured a search warrant, which sparked Friday’s search.
Henson did not know the complete list of drugs recovered, but said opioids were possibly included.
Investigators suspect the electronics at the home may have been stolen. There were so many boxes, Henson said, that “we had to get a moving truck to get them out of there.”
Investigators lined the boxes up in the driveway of the home, which is located at the end of a cul-de-sac.
