Searches of multiple residences uncovered large quantities of drugs and weapons, including hundreds of ecstasy pills, ketamine, crystal meth, two firearms, dozens of bullets, and drug paraphernalia.

According to initial statements, the traffickers had purchased the narcotics from a supplier based in Cambodia. Police are expanding the investigation to track down remaining members of the network.
