Feb. 2, 2009

GALVESTON, Texas - Drugs are missing from the Galveston Police Department's property room, officials told KPRC Local 2 Friday.

Police said officers conducted a routine evidence count last week and noticed some of the narcotics from previous and pending court cases weren't there anymore.

"We are undergoing a comprehensive inventory," Police Chief Charles Wiley said. "Employees have been restricted access to that property room. Polygraph tests are being administered. We're conducting a full-fledged internal investigation."

Wiley said they do not have any leads as to what happened to the drugs.
