According to a Tuesday, Nov. 18 news release from Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, the Guilford County Narcotics Task Force wrapped up an investigation last month that led to a major drug seizure at a northeast Greensboro home.
On Tuesday, Oct. 7, officers executed a search warrant at 2706 Northampton Drive in Greensboro. That search turned up roughly 56 pounds of marijuana and $305,263 in US currency.
Also, four firearms were found inside the home.
At the conclusion of the investigation, 30-year-old Malik Rashaud Moseley (pictured above) was arrested and charged in connection with the case.
Moseley faces two counts of felony trafficking in marijuana, one count of felony possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and one count of felony maintaining a dwelling or vehicle for controlled substances.
Following his arrest, Moseley received a $25,000 secured bond.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, he has since been released from jail.
The Sheriff’s Office news release stated that the operation was the work of the Guilford County Narcotics Task Force – a standing partnership that brings together local, state and federal resources for drug enforcement cases. The task force includes personnel from the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, the Greensboro Police Department, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Cases like this one are typically built over time, with investigators using a mix of surveillance, tips and other investigative tools before moving in with a search warrant. In this instance, the task force’s work ultimately ended with the seizure of bulk marijuana, a large amount of cash and multiple firearms from the Northampton Drive address.
The Sheriff’s Office didn’t release any additional information about the investigation, such as how long the case had been underway, whether others might be charged or what led agents to focus on that particular residence.
Those questions may be answered later as the case makes its way through the court system.
For now, the Sheriff’s Office is emphasizing the cooperative nature of the task force and the volume of drugs removed from circulation as a result of the search.
