Undercover buys lead to drug arrests

NILES -- Police have rounded up eight people, including six alleged to be drug peddlers, after a seven-month investigation.
The eight, four of them from Niles, are charged with trafficking in drugs, permitting drug abuse or probation violations, police said.
Arrests were made by the Niles Narcotics Unit, U.S. Marshal Service, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, Trumbull County Sheriff's Office and Warren, Howland and McDonald police.
