At least how the article is written, and they definitely get stuff wrong so who knows, it sounds like the off-road vehicles were an unplanned bonus. It was the Narcotics division serving warrants.

If the windshield smash had occurred and they saw where the riders returned to then went to seize them as payback, I'd get it and say yeah.

But a windshield smash probably didn't lead to suddenly cooking up narcotics warrants. I don't see any connection there.

Unless they ID'd the vehicles, somebody spotted where they were stored, then they staked out the place, saw some drug deals occurring, then got the warrants, which is possible.
