FORT PIERCE, Fla. — A two-month investigation led to the discovery of a large amount of illegal narcotics and firearms inside a Fort Pierce.

On Thursday, St. Lucie County detectives served a search warrant on the 100 block of Camelot Drive.

According to the authorities, detectives found molly, crack cocaine, fentanyl, MDMA, two handguns— a Glock 17 with high capacity magazine and a .45 caliber Hi-Point— and $2,455 in cash.

“We’re committed to ridding this poison from our community that has tragically affected so many families,” said Sheriff Ken Mascara.

Detectives arrested 28-year-old Julius Belle after finding the aforementioned items inside his home.

Belle faces numerous charges, including possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of opium and cocaine with intent to sell and trafficking in phenethylamines.

He was booked into St. Lucie County Jail.
