LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) — Two men were arrested after a multi-agency drug investigation led to the execution of a federal search warrant at a home in South Laredo.
Authorities identified the suspects as 31-year-old Daniel Chaires and 29-year-old Luis Alejandro Chaires, who were charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana following the operation on Tuesday, November 4, at the 2600 block of Napoleon Street.
The warrant was executed at 5 p.m. by the Laredo Police Department Narcotics Unit, alongside the DEA, Department of Public Safety (DPS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection Special Response Team (CBP SRT), and the Laredo Police Department Special Operations Group.

Two bags containing 11.4 grams of a white, rocky substance
