    ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) — A total of 335 “suspected fentanyl pills” and other suspected narcotics were seized during an investigation in Williamson and Bell counties, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office said in a release.

    On July 22, the WCSO Organized Crime Unit conducted the investigation at a home on San Milan Pass in Round Rock.

    WCSO said this then led authorities to a home in Morgan’s Point in Bell County the next day.

    Multiple items were seized from authorities with WCSO and the Bell County Sheriff’s Office Organized Crime Units, the release said. That list, as provided by WCSO, is below:

    • Bear Creek automatic rifle with a magazine and ammunition; WCSO said the weapon was stolen
    • 112,845 “suspected MDMA pills”; WCSO said the estimated street value was $1,128,450
    • 2,404 “suspected fentanyl pills”; WCSO said the estimated street value was $48,080
    • Approximately 4.7 pounds “suspected marijuana”; WCSO said the estimated street value was $7,050
    • 643 “suspected methamphetamine pills” that were “disguised as Adderall”; WCSO said the estimated street value was $6,430
    • Approximately 3.51 ounces “suspected shrooms”
    • 9 “suspected Xanax pills”

    Moreover, multiple “fictitious government documents” were found, like fake IDs, social security numbers, checks, vehicle registrations and more, according to WCSO.

    “The removal of dangerous narcotics from the community has undoubtedly improved community safety,” WCSO said in the release. “It has also disrupted a major drug trafficking network, preventing further illegal activities and potential harm to residents.”

    The investigation is ongoing. WCSO encourages anyone with any information regarding drug trafficking to contact its tip line at 512-943-1170 or drug-humantraffickinginfo@wilco.org. WCSO said tipsters can remain anonymous.
