ST. GEORGE — Police have arrested three Southern Utahns – two of whom were arrested in 2016 in connection with a Cedar City murder – for their alleged involvement in trafficking and selling heroin and crystal meth in Mesquite, Nevada.

Mesquite Police narcotics detectives were able to close an ongoing drug investigation by taking four suspects, including three women and a man, into custody Wednesday morning, according to a statement issued Tuesday by the Mesquite Police Department.

The suspects allegedly had been trafficking and selling heroin and crystal meth in the area over the last several months, according to the statement.

After taking the suspects into custody, detectives served a search warrant on a hotel room occupied by the suspects along with their vehicle, police said, adding:

"Inside both the hotel room and vehicle, detectives seized more illegal drugs and multiple items of drug paraphernalia."
