Two suspects remain on the loose in connection to a $521-thousand drug bust in Hall County.

It started March 14, when the Hall County Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad (MANS) unit executed a search warrant at a home on Ridgewood Avenue in Gainesville, whereupon agents found nearly 31,000 pills, including morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl and alprazolam, among others.

The occupants of the home, Venessa Chavira, 33, of Gainesville and Benjamin Plymale, 27, of Gainesville were not home, according to Lt. Don Scalia, MANS spokesman.

"Apparently we just missed them with that search warrant (investigation)," said Scalia, reached by phone.

Anyone with information on the pair's whereabouts is asked to contact Hall County MANS at (770) 531-6878 or the 24-hour tip line, where callers can remain anonymous, at (770) 531-6883.
