What appeared to be an ordinary Airbnb in a quiet Minnesota neighborhood concealed a far darker reality. Cars arrived at all hours. Suitcases came and went. No families. No furniture. No stability. Suspicion grew among neighbors until federal agents moved in. Investigators allege the rental functioned as a rotating drug hub, where meth, cash, and weapons flowed quickly through short-term stays designed to avoid detection. Months of surveillance tracked vehicles, financial trails, and booking records before authorities uncovered the operation. As the case unfolded, similar schemes surfaced in California, Indiana, and beyond — a coordinated method exploiting short-term rental platforms to move narcotics discreetly, hiding in plain sight across American neighborhoods.
