According to a post from the sheriff’s office on Instagram, “The seizure resulted from a traffic stop and search warrant conducted by the Marietta Cobb Smyrna (MCS) Narcotics Taskforce.

They seized $261,197 in cash, 39 grams of cocaine, five grams of fentanyl, marijuana, five firearms, and 867 grams of heroin. That is equivalent to 2,000 tablets.

“This collaboration between agencies continues to make Cobb County a safer place to live.” The office said.

The multi-law enforcement collaboration included the Smyrna Police Department, Cobb County Police Department, the Marietta Police Department. The Cobb County DA, Sonya F. Allen, was also tagged in the Instagram post.
