Colusa County Task Force Seizes Guns, Drugs in Early-October Operation
In early October, Colusa County's multi-agency task force executed five residential search warrants in different parts of Colusa as part of "Operation Central Valley Blues," targeting illegal drug trafficking. Agents seized stolen firearms held by individuals with criminal records, recovered narcotics and a stolen vehicle, and arrested several people including known gang members. The operation involved investigators from the county sheriff's department, probation department, district attorney's office, CHP's Williams office, police departments in Colusa and Williams, the county Office of Education, CHP K9 division, and California Fish and Wildlife. Officials identified methamphetamine, fentanyl, and a rising cocaine presence as current drug trends driving trafficking into the area via Interstate-5 and Highway 20.
