Cache of guns, drugs seized in High Desert 'Operation Consequences' raids

Sheriff's deputies working on the county's "Operation Consequences" targeted crime suppression campaign seized three dozen guns and more than three pounds of drugs while carrying out search warrants last week in Victorville, Adelanto and Bloomington, authorities said.

The recent round of search warrants were carried out at between Aug. 24 and Aug. 30 at four locations, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. They were:

• The 15600 block of Pearmain Street in Adelanto
• The 13300 block of Dunwood Court in Victorville
• The 11000 block of Spruce Avenue in Bloomington
• The 3500 block of Nolan Street in Bloomington

"During their investigations, 36 firearms were seized, which included seven 'ghost guns,' and over three and one-half pounds of illegal narcotics were recovered," the sheriff's department said in a written statement . "A total of four felony arrests were made."

Partners in the campaign include the California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino County Probation, the U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations.

The San Bernardino Board of Supervisors first approved funding for Operation Consequences in late-2022.

"The intent is to provide additional funding to the Sheriff’s Department, allowing for increased law enforcement services related to quality-of-life issues affecting the communities in our county," according to the statement.
