AGOURA HILLS – State investigators with the Ventura County Interagency Pharmaceutical Crimes Unit assisted with an investigation that recently lead to the arrest of an Agoura Hills man who is charged with selling drugs and the illegal possession of 13 firearms.

On December 20, 2016, detectives with the Ventura County Sheriff’s East County Narcotics Team concluded an investigation into Sean Mulvey, 47, who was suspected of selling illegal narcotics to residents of Ventura and Los Angeles counties.  Detectives with the Ventura County Interagency Pharmaceutical Crimes Unit and Thousand Oaks Special Enforcement Units assisted and detained Mulvey after he left his home.
