ISP, DEA search 3 South Bend homes

The Indiana State Police Drug Enforcement Section and the Drug Enforcement Agency searched three South Bend homes Tuesday morning.

The searches, at 205 E. Victoria, 1514 Fellows and 526 S. Jackson, were a result of a five month investigation, according to an ISP press release.

Undercover officers purchased more than a half-pound of powder and crack cocaine during the investigation, according to the press release.

The South Bend SWAT assisted with the execution of the search warrants just after 6 a.m. Tuesday.

During the search, investigators seized a handgun, shotgun and an AR15-style rifle, methamphetamine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and ammunition, according to reports.

Authorities are expected to file both federal and state charges against multiple suspects involved in the investigation.
