(Hamburg) On Thursday, the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Iowa State Patrol, executed a narcotics search warrant at a residence on Lake Street in Hamburg.
The warrant followed an investigation by the Fremont County K9 Unit into the distribution of methamphetamine within the community. During the search, deputies recovered methamphetamine and various items of paraphernalia associated with the distribution of illegal narcotics.
As a result of the investigation, two individuals were taken into custody and transported to the Fremont County Jail.
