A drug raid that began in Brockton has led to drug charges in Easton and Stoughton, according to the Taunton Gazette.
Stoughton Police joined law enforcement from the Drug Enforcement Administration and state police. In all, more than 25 people were arrested in the federal drug raid, including two women. All are expected to face federal drug charges at the U.S. District Court in Boston.
Federal authorities said at least 24 people had been arrested and eight others may be sought by state police. Massachusetts State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation also participated in the investigation and raid.
The raids began at 3 a.m. Thursday and targeted residences in Brockton, include several on Green and Clifton streets. Several hundred law enforcement officers took part.
Plymouth County Sheriff's deputies were guarding suspects in vans as they were transferred one at a time into the Brockton Police Department for booking.
