A large amount of narcotics recently being smuggled into Southern California was intercepted and confiscated by the OC Sheriff’s Highway Interdiction Team (HIT).

 Over two days, the team initiated traffic stops that resulted in pulling 81.4 pounds of methamphetamine and 115,400 fentanyl pills off the street.

 HIT deputies first stopped a vehicle heading northbound on the 5 freeway on Sept. 28. Narcotics detection K-9, Remington, alerted on the vehicle and deputies found 81.4 pounds of methamphetamine and 105,000 fentanyl pills hidden in the floorboards.

 The following day, on Sept. 29, deputies stopped another vehicle traveling northbound on the 5 freeway and narcotics detection K-9, JC, alerted to the presence of drugs in the vehicle. Deputies found and confiscated 10,400 fentanyl pills on that stop.

 The Highway Interdiction Team is responsible for patrolling the freeway thoroughfare and proactively identifying and interrupting drug trafficking activity. 

OC Sheriff’s Department Supports National Walk to School Day Oct. 6

SANTA ANA, Ca. (October 6, 2021): The Orange County Sheriff’s Department encourages parents and students to join school-goers from around the country and make the trek to class on foot Oct. 6.

“Walk to School Day” is celebrated annually to highlight the benefits of exercise and practice pedestrian and road safety with classmates, families, and caregivers.

“Walking to school is a great way to not only stay active, but also practice safe walking behaviors,” Sergeant Brent Jasper said. “With many students returning to in-person instruction this year, ‘Walk to School Day’ is a valuable learning tool that benefits students at the start of the school year.”

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department offers the following tips for children to incorporate into their walks:

  • Be predictable. Use crosswalks.
  • Walk on sidewalks, when available.
  • Always look left-right-left before crossing the street. Make sure the driver sees you. Continue to scan for traffic as you cross the street.
  • Do not walk or run into the path of a vehicle.
  • Watch for cars entering/backing out of driveways or leaving parking spaces.

Drivers should be alert for more people walking to school the morning of Oct. 6 and be prepared to stop for children crossing the street. Drivers should always watch their speed and slowdown in school zones.

Schools are encouraged to register at walkbiketoschool.org as a way of tracking participation and showing support for active, healthy, and safe transportation. 
 

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
