Eight suspects are in custody, charged with trafficking.
Pinyan tells WSB, police seized five pounds of methamphetamine, a pound and a half of cocaine and several weapons.
"We did located six handguns, so they did have access to weapons," Pinyan says. "Fortunately, we didn't come across any of their violent tendencies."
