Sandy Shore police arrested two men in the wake of the area's latest methamphetamine lab explosing, this one in a trailer park out on Smoke Tree Road.

 

Toby Parry, 26 out of Paleto Bay and Cody Fullington, 32 out of Sandy Shores, were both charged with manufacturing the methamphetamine drug after the Saturday night explosing.

 

One other suspect is involved but both apprehended suspects did not give up the any information on the person of interest,  Lt. Conrad Halls said. 

 

Investigators who reponded to a 11 p.m disturbance call at the Smoke Tree Road trailer park and found Toby Parry standing in front of one of the trailers, with burn marks on his face, torso and arms. 

 

He admitted to deputies on scene that he had been cooking the drug, Lt. Halls said. Fullington, who is listed as the motorhome owner, was arrested at a later date. Both were being held for $500,000 bail.

 

After a flash explosion blew through the motorhome, Parry extinguished the fire with blankets and a garden hose, investigations said. There was no major damages to the other motorhome at the trailer park, they said. 

 

The Smoke Tree Road site was one of the three stove-top drug labs uncovered in the Sandy Shores area during a 24-hour period over the weekend, according to Special Agent Robert White of the state Narcotic Enforcement Agency.

 

Investigators seized chemicals and processing apparatus from a clandestine drug kitchen in El Burro Heights and arrested one suspect, White said. Sheriff's deputies and officers of the Los Santos Police Department discovered another small lab in the rear garage of a house in Alamo and confiscated chemicals even though the suspect tried to destroy evidence as they closed in, he said. 

 

Robert White noted that in the Sandy Shores blast marked a dangerous trend in the Los Santos and county drug trade: While methamphetamine production continues to spread, the relatively minimal know-how required to manufacture it apparently is not- resulting in new labs that are particularly volatile.

 

Police also discovered drums full of toluene, also known as methylbenzene, a clear, colorless liquid used as a industrial solvent. Fumes from the chemical are toxic if inhaled.

 

''The sheer scale of these labs and what they could have produced or may have produced leads me to believe that there's a larger network of trafficking and distribution and no doubtedly exportation to possibly other countries, investigators said, regardless of where the drug ends up, it's important to cut drugs off at the course.

 

''This is becoming real alarming to us'', said Robert White of the of the states Narcotic Enforcement Agency.
