Authorities serve warrants at dozens of O.C. homes today as part of a two-year drug investigation.
Local police departments and federal agents raided dozens of Orange County homes this morning, rounding up alleged Santa Ana street-gang members suspected of participating in an ongoing drug-trafficking operation.
The coordinated raids began at 6 a.m. when agents armed with federal arrest warrants swarmed several homes. One suspected gang member was arrested at a home in the 500 block of South Daisy Avenue by a Santa Ana police SWAT team.
