Liberty County Sheriff’s Office investigators seized approximately 42 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine during the execution of a search warrant Monday, June 15, at a property in the 400 block of CR 5037 in Colony Ridge.
According to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, the Criminal Interdiction/Narcotics Unit received information that the residence was being used as a conversion lab for producing bulk quantities of methamphetamine. Investigators obtained a search warrant from 75th District Judge Michelle Merendino before conducting the operation.
At approximately 6:30 p.m., deputies, along with federal and state authorities, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office and the Houston Police Department, executed the search warrant at the property.

No individuals were present at the property when authorities arrived, and no arrests were made. The investigation remains ongoing.
