A cocaine, meth and heroin ring that circulated drugs in three different states, including northern Indiana, has been broken as police arrested 17 people earlier this month.

“We are not finished. This law enforcement team is united and we will continue our efforts, and we are coming after you, and you are next,” said U.S. Attorney David A. Capp.

Capp announced the 17 arrests during a news conference on Wednesday, Aug. 10.

The investigation began in January 2015 when officers began to make controlled purchases. During the last year and a half, police served 20 federal search warrants and found $600,000 in cash, 11 kilograms of cocaine, 13 vehicles, 13 firearms, marijuana, more than 100 grams of heroin and more than 50 grams of meth.
