WARREN — The Warren Police Departments Special Investigation Unit has seized a large quantity of weapons, ammunition, and narcotics during a recent undercover investigation.
In the investigation, undercover officers with the Special Investigation Division made several purchases of methamphetamine from a male suspect at various locations in Madison Heights and Warren.
Warren Police conducted a search warrant at the suspects house in Madison Heights where he was arrested without incident. The suspect was identified as 45-year-old Denver Hensley.
Police seized the following from the suspects home:
• 47 firearms
- 14 handguns, 23 rifles (3 rifles had fully auto switches)
• 35 grams of methamphetamine along with narcotic packaging material
• 10,000+ rounds of ammunition
- 24 crates of ammunition in assorted calibers totaling over 10k rounds.
• 100 individual loaded firearm magazines
Hensley was charged with two counts of delivery and manufacturing of methamphetamine, two counts of felony firearm, and one count of maintaining a drug house.
"Neighborhood drug enforcement has been a top priority of mine since returning as Police Commissioner in 2017. The seizure of such a large quantity of weapons, ammunition, and drugs is yet another example of the Department’s proactive approach to ridding the community of illegal drugs. Thanks to the efforts of the Warren Police SID Unit, I have no doubt that the community is safer now that these drugs and weapons are off the street and the seller is in custody," said Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer.
