In the beginning of February, we received complaints about drug activity and narcotics sales occurring at a residence on Kenwood Court. Our patrol teams began to actively monitor this area with assistance from the Novato Response Team and the Marin County Major Crimes Task Force. We made contacts and arrests of individuals leaving this residence for narcotics related offenses, which helped verify the information we were receiving from our community. As a result this activity, Marin County Major Crimes Task Force Detectives obtained a search warrant for this residence.

On Thursday, February 8th, 2018, Novato Police officers stopped a man leaving this residence and located a small amount of methamphetamine on him. At the same time, Marin County Major Crimes Task Force detectives and NPD officers went to the residence to serve a narcotics related search warrant. 

Detectives located and detained numerous people in and around the property, including a 10 year old child.  During search of the residence, Detectives found a large quantity of methamphetamine inside a bedroom along with more drugs in the backyard and garage area.  

During the execution of the search warrant, 50 year old, Novato resident Luu Quach was arrested for suspicion of selling narcotics, child endangerment, destroying evidence and violation of his narcotics related probation. Detectives contacted 52 year old Jesus Santana at the property arrested him for possessing narcotics and being under the influence of a controlled substance. They also contacted 33 year old Lillian Brown of Novato, who was arrested for possessing narcotics paraphernalia and violating her probation.

We work in partnership to provide a safer community and to tackle drug abuse in our neighborhoods. We could not do our job as effectively without our community members, who provided us vital information during this investigation.
