MANHATTAN – Law enforcement authorities in Riley County are investigating five suspects on drug charges.

Three of them were arrested after a warning and plea to the public on Tuesday evening for help to find them.

Just before 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the Riley County Police Department conducted a joint investigation with the Geary County Sheriff’s Office and the Junction City Police Department, which led to two arrests in the 1200 block of Bertrand Street in Manhattan.

Police reported that three other men fled the area and could possibly pose a danger to the community.

Acting on a tip from a neighboring law enforcement agency, members of the Special Investigation Unit of the Riley County Police Department located over 1,000 pills of ecstasy and approximately 6.5 pounds of marijuana with a street level value of approximately $55,000.00.

Enrique Hinojosa, 20, and Victor Daniel Lara, 20, both of Stockton, CA., were arrested early Wednesday, according to Riley County Police.

The third suspect was not identified.
