Nearly year-long investigation prompts 3 house raids in Warren
WARREN
No one was arrested, but Warren police raided three homes on Porter Street Northeast early Friday, finding suspected crack cocaine, a firearm and cash.
Charges are pending analysis of the suspected drugs, police Chief Eric Merkel said.
The homes were in the 200 and 300 blocks of Porter Street, where seven adults and several children were found.
The three residences are believed to be connected in their drug sales, Merkel said.
Suspected crack cocaine was found in two of the residences, some of which was packaged for sale.
Officers with Warren’s Street Crimes Unit began an investigation last summer based on complaints about drug dealing, Merkel said.
