Investigation yields more arrests

The investigation into the stealing of weapons from patrol cars in Etowah County netted authorities a bonus. They followed up more than 100 tips concerning the stolen weapons, some of which led to drug busts. In fact, meth labs were found in Walnut Park and in North Gadsden. And there were 12 arrests that had nothing to do with the weapons. Etowah County drug agents found not only meth, but crack cocaine, illegal prescription drugs and marijuana.
