Three arrested in connection to meth lab

Troopers from the Sussex County Drug Unit of the Delaware State Police say a months-long investigation culminated in the arrests of three people, after authorities discovered a meth lab at a residence on Palmetto Street in Mobile Gardens.

Police say on Thursday June 25, 2015 at approximately 10:15 A.M., the Sussex Co. Task Force worked along with the assistance of the Sussex Co. Governor’s Task Force,  Kent County Drug Task Force, Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team (SORT), and DNREC, responded to the residence to conduct a search warrant.

Upon arrival, police say Brooks Musser, 29 of Seaford, Matthew A. Revel, 30 of Seaford, and Bruceia R. Fraser, 19 of Seaford, were all taken into custody without incident. 

Authorities say Fraser’s three year old son was also in the house during the time of the arrest. 

Upon conducting a search of the property, detectives say they located equipment and mixtures of the manufacturing stages of meth, along with key ingredients in making the drug, as well as 5.3 grams of already-manufactured Methamphetamine.

Troopers say all three were transported to Troop 4 in Georgetown where they were each charged with Operating a Clandestine Laboratory, two counts of Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance (Meth), Possession of a Controlled Substance (Meth), second-degree Conspiracy, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. 

Police say they were all remanded to the Delaware Department of Corrections in lieu of $45,200.00 cash bond.

No evacuations were ordered as it was determined that there was no immediate hazard to nearby residents.
