PANAMA CITY BEACH -- Investigators may have put a halt to an underground steroid manufacturing and distribution operation after searching two beach homes.
Two search warrants led Bay County Sheriff’s Office investigators to 8206 Beach Drive and a residence in Lake Towne Wharf, where they found packaged homemade steroids and product manufacturing equipment, a news release said.
The bust came after the office obtained information about a possible steroid lab at the residences.
According to the release, several suspects apparently had been injecting the product and experienced rapid muscle increase and unusual health problems.
The product, believed to have been made and sold as a strong steroid, was sold directly and online, and purchased at $13 to $70 per bottle, the release said.
The case is currently under investigation; arrests and charges are expected, the release said.
