Seattle police seized multiple guns and nearly 200 grams of drugs while serving a warrant on an RV in West Seattle.

The arrest is part of an investigation into reports of drugs being bought at the RV, parked in the 2600 block of Southwest Cambridge Street, according to a news release from the Seattle Police Department (SPD).

The RV occupants are accused of dealing drugs and running a fencing operation, which means buying stolen items from people and paying in cash or drugs, SPD explained in the release.

SPD narcotics detectives and Southwest Precinct officers reported foot traffic going in and out of the RV during the weeks-long investigation.
