Sequoyah County law enforcement agencies continue to crack down on the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine as they made their first clandestine lab seizure for the new year Friday morning, according to a press release from the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Office.

Sequoyah County Sheriff's investigators and deputies, along with District 27 District Attorney's Drug Task Force agents, teamed up to execute a search warrant on a clandestine methamphetamine lab located in a remote area north of Muldrow.

During the search process, officers at the scene reported finding chemicals and equipment commonly associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine, along with items of paraphernalia commonly associated with the distribution of controlled dangerous substances.

Officers also reported that the location appeared to have, at one time, been rigged with "booby traps." Officers reported finding several homemade electrical devices wired throughout a shed.

While no one was present at the location at the time the search warrant was served, officers reported that suspect information was gathered at the scene and, pending further investigation, arrests were expected in the case.
