October 13, 2000

A two-month drug investigation has resulted in the arrests of two men accused of leading a narcotics organization that operated in Baltimore and Baltimore County, city police said yesterday.

Officers raided six homes Wednesday- four in Northeast Baltimore and one each in Parkville and Essex - and said they seized numerous firearms, vehicles, cellular phones and drugs.

Randy Tyrone Gantt, 31, of the 3600 block of Rockberry Road in Parkville, and Kenneth Robinson, 24, of the 5400 block of Plainfield Ave. in Northeast Baltimore, were charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute and firearms violations.

Police said they were searching for several more suspects, all of whom have records for drugs and violence, including homicide arrests.

From the Parkville house, police said they seized 1.5 ounces of crack cocaine, $47,722 in cash, a Rolex watch and assorted gold and diamond jewelry and four handguns - including a .40-caliber Glock.

Other seizures, police said, include five motorcycles and four personal watercraft worth a combined $90,000. The suspects were being held without bail yesterday in the Baltimore City Detention Center.
