🚨K-9 Drug Seizure🚨

On May 15, 2026, a California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officer conducted an enforcement stop on a passenger vehicle northbound on Interstate 5 in the CHP Williams Area. Upon contacting the solo occupant of the vehicle, the officer observed multiple signs of criminal activity and requested a Canine Officer respond to the scene. The Canine Officer arrived on scene and utilized his canine partner, Robbie, to conduct an exterior free air sniff of the vehicle. Robbie alerted to the presence of the odor of narcotics emitting from within the vehicle. A search was conducted, and Officers located 30 kilos of suspected co***ne.

Our Canine Officers are working non-stop to keep us safe by removing these dangerous drugs from the highways and communities we protect. 🐾

Great job to Robbie and all Officers involved!

CHP - Chico located this male black lab on SR-99 at East Avenue. He is on his way to animal control to check to see if he has a chip to identify his owner.
