The release stated that the location has been connected to the trafficking of many illegal drugs and weapons associated with some of the violent crimes that have taken place in the county. Three people were arrested during the search, and a quantity of drugs and weapons were found. Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, no further details were released. The names of those arrested and the charges against them were not released, either. WBCU News will follow this story and bring you more details as they become available.
