Execution of a police warrant to search a Lake Forest Park residence on March 6 led to the seizure of more than $70,000 and more than 25 pounds of marijuana.

One suspect is in custody in King County Jail, Lake Forest Park police sergeant Paul Armbrust said Tuesday. Also seized were firearms, marijuana growing and processing equipment.

The suspect owns the residence in the 16700 block of 37th Avenue Northeast in Lake Forest Park. The home was unoccupied at the time police executed the warrant, according to Armburst.

“It’s been a reasonably long term investigation,” Armbrust said. “The investigation will continue.”
