Members of the Community Resource Team, which consists of deputies from the Granville County Sheriff’s Office and the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, recently conducted vehicle stops on I-85, in the vicinity of Butner, for traffic violations. During these traffic stops, probable cause was obtained to conduct a search of the vehicles.
In total, approximately 160 pounds of marijuana were located and seized. These traffic stops were made on July 30, Aug. 19 and Aug. 20.
“We are grateful for this partnership with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office,” said Granville County Sheriff Charles R. Noblin, Jr. “With their assistance, we were able to get these drugs off our streets.”
The Granville County Sheriff’s Office is now open in their new location at 525 New Commerce Drive in Oxford. Their phone number remains the same at 919-693-3213.
