Significant Drug Ring Shut Down

Rochester police say a significant drug investigation has ended with 26 arrests, the seizure of more than six-and-a-half kilos of drugs and 34 firearms.

Captain John Koonmen says what began as a small investigation quickly grew until investigators developed probable cause to search 28 different locations, many of them on Rochester's East Side. In addition to cocaine and fentanyl, officers also seized three-and-a-half pounds of marijuana and more than $148,000 in cash. It's still an active investigation.

Police say five of the people arrested remain in jail; the rest were granted bail.
