Drugs and property seized during the raids included more than a pound of heroin, more than four pounds of crystal methamphetamine, liquid synthetic heroin, body armor, multiple firearms, nine vehicles and about $150,000 in cash.

Ten people were arrested and charges are pending on other suspects.

Police said charges will likely include possession with intent to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to deliver narcotics, felon in possession of firearms, and possession of stolen property.
