AURORA, ILLINOIS

A recent four-month drug investigation resulted in four vehicles being added to the Kane County Sheriff’s Department undercover fleet.

Sheriff Pat Perez told members of the County Board’s Judicial and Public Safety Committee this week that the drug investigation began in Aurora, and led to Hanover Park in Cook County. It was there that Kane deputies executed search and arrest warrants.

The department also seized six vehicles, four of which "are worthy of staying in our fleet as undercover vehicles," Perez said.

I'll pass it on and perhaps our dept. can also begin taking advantage of seased vehicles. 3 March 26, 2008 tseciwa: ... Old news. 4 April 01, 2008
