The Menasha Police Department and the Lake Winnebago metropolitan Drug Unit made three arrests after a 2 month long drug investigation.
One suspect was trafficking heroin from his apartment in the 900 block of Third St.
Crack cocaine, weapons, and cash were also seized from the suspects’ homes.
During the investigation the Menasha Police Department warned the public to be on the lookout for discarded needles.
Jefferson Park is close to the location where the drug was being sold, and it is common for users to use the drug shortly after obtaining it.
Police are asking the public to continue looking out for any paraphernalia commonly associated with heroin use, and to report any findings to the police department.
