STEUBENVILLE

A federal grand jury has charged seven people suspected in a heroin-trafficking operation with one count each of conspiracy to possess a controlled substance.

Federal authorities say a grand jury in Columbus recently indicted four suspects from Steubenville, one from Irving, Texas, and two from Weirton, W.Va.

Authorities say the yearlong investigation operation resulted in the seizure of eight firearms, three vehicles and about $110,000.
