Dallas Police Seize Large Quantity of Marijuana Following Tip
In a significant drug bust, Dallas police seized nearly 400 pounds of marijuana from a storage facility in the Oak Cliff area after receiving a tip. The investigation led to the arrest of 47-year-old Zhenqi Lin, who was charged with possession of marijuana between 50 and 2,000 pounds, a second-degree felony.
According to authorities, the Dallas Police Department’s Special Investigations Division received a tip about a large shipment of marijuana being prepared for transport to the city. Detectives tracked the shipment to a storage facility in the 4300 block of Communications Drive and obtained a search warrant.
On August 6, detectives executed the warrant and seized approximately 179,081.7 grams, or about 398 pounds, of marijuana. The investigation was a collaborative effort involving SID detectives, uniform officers, the Southwest Patrol, CRT, and the K9 Unit.
Major Yancey Nelson, commander of the Special Investigations Division, praised the successful operation, stating, “Anytime we get drugs off the street, it’s a success — and almost 400 pounds of marijuana taken off the street represents a significant success.”
Lin has since bonded out of jail, but the case is ongoing, with the investigation documented under case number 112462-2025. The seizure of such a large quantity of marijuana is a significant blow to drug traffickers and a testament to the dedication of the Dallas Police Department’s Special Investigations Division.
