Drug fencing probe expands to federal grand jury in Raleigh
A widening investigation into a suspected major drug fencing ring has reached a federal grand jury as FBI agents probe possible law enforcement involvement. A Raleigh police officer has been suspended without pay amid the inquiry, with other agencies’ officers also under scrutiny. The probe may extend beyond North Carolina and involves a larger network than a prior shoplifting case in Garner. Raleigh Police Chief Mitch Brown disclosed the suspension but did not reveal reasons, citing privacy laws.
