While working as a narcotic sergeant, I participated in an interesting investigation for attempted murder. It was a gang-related shooting. We knew the players, but lacked evidence.
Major supplier of MDMA
One of the peripheral participants was a major supplier of MDMA (ecstasy), or simply called “E” on the street. We targeted him with laser focus. Soon, we caught him trafficking three “boats” (3000 tablets) of the drug. Upon booking, he offered to assist with the attempted homicide investigation.
We temporarily released
Mr. E with specific instructions, but didn’t trust him, so we obtained legal authority and placed a tracker on his car without his knowledge. A short time later, he drove to the home of our primary target in the wee hours of the morning. The computer then tracked him to the pier in Newport Beach, California. After a very short visit, he left.
