In January 2014, the investigation culminated with a series of search warrants.  This was able to be completed by the Sarasota Police Department with the help of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the State Attorney's Office for the 12th Judicial District, and the DEA Tampa District Office which included members from the Bradenton Police Department and the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

The Sarasota Police Department, with the assistance of the DEA and the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, completed Phase II of SRQ Cartel II ending in April 2014.  Phase II resulted in the arrests of 24 individuals stemming from a long term investigation.  The arrests were made as a result of surveillance, search warrants and future investigation of phone records as a result of a T-3 State wiretap.
