Multiple raids this morning on suspected meth distribution ring

By Howard B. Owens

Sheriff Gary Maha arrived at 3658 Townline Road a short time ago where, within the hour, law enforcement had arrived on scene and conducted a raid.

Maha also confirmed there had been a raid earlier on Cedar Street in Batavia. He said there were "three or four" locations raided this morning. He said it's related to an investigation into methamphetamine distribution. When asked where the meth was being manufactured he said he couldn't say.

The Sheriff's Office, State Police and an Orleans County K-9 unit are on scene.

Maha said his office would release a statement later this afternoon.

This is such a small county, with everybody knowing everybody, and a pretty darn professional and aggressive law enforcement contingent, I often wonder why drug dealers even bother to try. They're going to get caught eventually.

lots of money to be made, they get away with it for a while and think they are living the good life, and then......there's a knock at the door (ok-it's actually the door being knocked off the hinges, and cops and dogs running into the house)!!!
but you are right Howard, it is a small community and people know each other and people talk....
