The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Special Services Team is serving a warrant at 936 Vance Avenue in Samoa near the former headquarters of the old Samoa Pulp Mill. The deputies were at the site before 10:30 this morning.

According to scanner traffic, there is a likely hash lab in the building. Scanner traffic also has officers referring to asset forfeiture and to “popping” a safe.
HCSO spokesperson Samantha Karges confirmed that the Special Services Team was serving a search warrant in the area but declined to provide further details at this time.
