A drug sweep on the South Coast resulted in nearly two dozen arrests as more than 100 law enforcement personnel searched homes in Santa Barbara and Goleta linked to narcotic trafficking early yesterday morning.
Authorities raided a total of 11 locations, including eight in Santa Barbara, and made 22 arrests for primarily drug-related violations. Significant amounts of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine were also seized, according to a news release from the Santa Barbara Police Department.
In addition to local police officers and sheriff’s deputies, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement took part in the sting.
SWAT team members also assisted due to the possibility of weapons and armed resistance at certain locations. Authorities said no injuries to officers or suspects occurred.
Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, few details on the drug sweep or the suspects who were arrested have been released.

Natas- Why don't you apply to become a cop and show them how to do it! Oh wait, you probably dropped out of high school. If you can kick that once a day weed habit you might have a shot at passing a drug test :)

100. Let's see, that's less than 10 cops per location. Locations where automatic weapons, heroin, cocaine and that favorite logic booster, meth, were found. Is anybody else tired of listening to these know nothing, sideline clowns? Thank you lawmwn and women for your work. I am a Democrat, a parent and downtown resident and I, too, am tired of idiots.

Hey yea! why dont you become a cop? O wait, the other dude doesnt think you have what it takes to be a cop, you know, high school diploma... feverish addiction to fried bread... total lack of penis or anything resembling male genetalia. Yea, better idea, dont become a cop, retain your self respect.
Good for you!
