Multi-agency drug trafficking investigation turns up a large amount of illegal bath salts, as well as millions in cash in the Salt Lake City area.
The Salt Lake City Police Department, along with the DEA and Homeland Security, were part of the operations that targeted the widespread distribution of bath salts in northern Utah.
During the investigation, police and agents with the DEA Task Force made 25 arrests and were able to seize 40 kilos of bath salts, along with $6 million in real estate and $2.5 million in cash and assets. Brown said the highly-skilled drug trafficking organizations using numerous methods to hide their operations, and that the drugs come into Salt Lake City from Mexico and China, after being funneled through Los Angeles, Denver and Seattle.
