Units responded to this location while conducting follow up investiga-
tions into recently reported burglaries in the area. Investigators developed a lead
that directed them to this location. It was suspected that the burglar used this
home to sell or stash recently stolen property. While conducting their investiga-
tion, they discovered the occupants were involved in illegally manufacturing

meth in the home and in shed on the property.
Levy County s Drug Task Force investigators responded to
assist with the investigation and recover the narcotics. The chemicals
used to manufacture these types of drugs are extremely volatile and
it requires specialized training to properly and safely recover.
