Drugs Shipped To Fairfax Nail Salon Seized, Suspect Arrested: Police

FAIRFAX, CA — The Marin County Sheriff's Office has made an arrest after U.S. Customs agents seized a drug shipment en route to a Fairfax nail salon, according to investigators.

In a news release Tuesday, officials said the county's special investigations unit was notified by the Homeland Security Investigations Division of a package containing 3.5 kilograms of GBL/GHB, often referred to as the "date rape drug."

Photos provided by the sheriff's office showed the liquids concealed in shampoo and cosmetics bottles.

Customs agents turned over the shipment to HSI, who provided it to Marin County investigators. Working with the U.S. Postal Service, deputies completed a "controlled delivery" to the nail salon, arresting the person who accepted the package. Officials identified the suspect as Long Tran and received a search warrant for his San Francisco residence. There, deputies said they found more of the same drug.

During the investigation, the sheriff's office tallied more than 3,500 doses of the drug, valued between $15,000 and $20,000.
