Officers arrested two Vancouver residents Thursday as they allegedly attempted to deliver several ounces of heroin in Oregon. Investigators seized a cache of cocaine and heroin in a related search later that evening, a search that police said might not have been as fruitful without a police K-9’s help.
Detectives with the Clark-Vancouver Regional Drug Task Force and Clackamas Interagency Task Force arrested Artemisa Guerreromuro, 38, and Mario Cuevasradillo, 41, and booked them into the Clackamas County Jail for conspiracy to deliver heroin.
That evening, officers served a search warrant at 15681 N.E. Hickory St. in Vancouver and located about 5 ounces of cocaine, 1 3/4 pounds of heroin and more than $7,000 in cash.
County drug task force police dog Piper noticed a small box of Christmas decorations in the garage, where officers ended up finding the heroin.
