Chillicothe Police officers and detectives and Livingston County Sheriff’s Office deputies, including K-9 Zaki, served a search warrant in the 100 block of Mitchell Road Tuesday. Maples reports officers located several items during the search, including area residents’ checks, professional forging equipment, a large amount of narcotics, firearms, and false identifications.
The Chillicothe Police Department conducted several follow up investigations and worked with several other jurisdictions. Chillicothe Police staff is working with agencies in the prosecution of the individuals in other communities.
