Layka strikes again this time taking almost a half a pound of meth off the streets!! That a girl!!

The post shared by the Mille Lacs Tribal Police Department came from Performance Kennels Inc.

That’s right, Mille Lacs Tribal PD K-9 Layka strikes again. Officers were working drug interdiction in the area of the Mille Lacs Casino. Officers made a traffic stop on a vehicle that was being driven by a suspected dope dealer. RAS was developed and Layka was sent on a sniff. Layka alerted on 2 separate areas of the vehicle. Subsequent search netted nearly 1/2 pound of meth (yes, that’s a lot) and a bunch of Ecstasy. Driver was booked on 1st degree drug possession. This girl has been busy!

According to recovered.org the street value of that bust cost the criminals anywhere from $4,500 - $113,000 depending on location and purity.

Recovered.org reports that "Meth addiction may not appear to be a financial burden when looking at the price of a single hit, but these costs add up. For example, a meth addict can spend between $12,800 and $38,300 per year on buying the quantities of meth needed to support their habit."
