The subsequent investigation, which led to numerous additional arrests and seizures of drugs and money, was turned over to the Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group or MEG Unit and City of Fond du Lac Police. Throughout the investigation more than 150 grams of heroin, 7 grams of crack cocaine and thousands of dollars in cash were seized. The heroin seized during the investigation represents 1,500 bindles and has a street value of $30,000 to $60,000. Also participating in the past year’s investigation was the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Fond du Lac County District Attorney’s Office.
