Over the past few months, the Mesquite Police Department had been conducting an investigation involving multiple drug dealers who had been working together to traffic and sell heroin, meth, and cocaine from a residence within Mesquite. On Jan. 26, Mesquite Police concluded their investigation by moving in on the residence to take all the suspects into custody.

When the police officers moved in and made contact with the suspects, they learned these suspects were in the act of forcing two females to conduct sexual acts for money while actively selling illegal drugs from within their residence. Mesquite Police promptly took action and were able to safely remove both females from the location while taking four suspects into custody.

All four suspects have been formally charged. Mesquite detectives are still actively investigating and reviewing evidence obtained from the crime scene. Additional criminal charges are pending, once the investigation is completed.
