Pasco County detectives have made several arrests in New Port Richey that lead to drugs, stolen guns, and Nazi propaganda.
- Drugs, stolen guns, Nazi propaganda found in Pasco home
- Home known for trading drugs
- Three men, two women arrested
Three men and two women were taken into custody from the New Port Richey home at 9240 Kiowa Drive after being served a search warrant Tuesday.
‘They're lifting door handles, going into mail boxes, stealing stuff, bringing it to this house, and trading it for drugs," Sheriff Chris Nocco said.
Inside the home detectives found stolen guns, ID’s, drugs, and hundreds of pages of Nazi propaganda.
Investigators said the Griffin Park area, where the home is located, is known for its long standing history of self-proclaimed Neo Nazi’s.
However, the sheriff’s office said in this case there is no evidence that their beliefs influenced the alleged crimes.
“Their ideology wasn’t pushing their crime, it wasn’t as if they were committing these crimes to extort money to push their ideology,” Sheriff Nocco said. “These were people that are criminals who have an ideology probably to protect themselves when they go into prison.”
Investigators are still looking for one person, Justin Hopper, in connection to similar crimes.
