NICE, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating who is responsible for a methamphetamine conversion lab found at a home in Nice last week.

Lt. Corey Paulich said that on Friday detectives from the Lake County Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit served a search warrant at a residence in the 3800 block of Dixie Street in Nice.

He said detectives located the lab at the residence and determined that the home was being used to convert liquid methamphetamine into crystal methamphetamine.

Approximately one half gallon of liquid methamphetamine was located. Paulich said detectives estimated the liquid was capable of producing more than 2 pounds of crystal methamphetamine, which would have a street value of approximately $10,000.

He said no one was located at the residence and detectives are continuing their investigation to determine the person or persons responsible.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 707-263-3663.
