ANGIER – The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office said they located a methamphetamine lab inside a home. Narcotic agents were conducting an undercover operation, Friday morning, and made a traffic stop.
During the vehicle stop agents reportedly seized methamphetamine from two people. Information gathered during the traffic stop allowed them to obtain a search warrant for a home in the 1200 block of Ennis Road, Angier, a Johnston County address. The meth lab was found inside the home during the execution of the search warrant.
The NC State Bureau of Investigation responded to clean up the toxic lab.
