DCSO STREET CRIMES UNIT LOCATES AN ACTIVE CLANDESTINE LAB DURING SEARCH WARRANT
On February 8th, 2023, at approximately 8:00 AM, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Street Crimes Unit, in collaboration with the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team, executed a search warrant on the 1400 block of NE Tucson Way within the city of Bend.
During the execution of the search warrant, an active clandestine lab alleged to extract Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) was located on the property. Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is the prototypical indolethylamine hallucinogen.
Illicit DMT labs present serious concerns over possible fires, explosions, and chemical burns. This scene is currently stable, and no evacuations have been ordered. However, investigators ask the public to avoid the area as the investigation continues.
The Oregon State Police Clandestine Lab Team, Oregon Health Authority, and the Oregon DEQ are responding to the scene to assist investigators in safely deactivating, dismantling, and decontaminating the clandestine lab.
Several people have been detained, and no injuries have been reported.
Additional details will be released as they become available.
