The raids when down during the late evening hours on Monday, Feb. 4, at two homes located at 155 Front Street and 159 Front Street in Port Jervis, said Port Jervis Police Chief William Worden.

"The arrests are the result of an undercover investigation conducted by the Port Jervis City Police Department into the illicit sales of crack cocaine originating in the Front Street area of the City of Port Jervis over the last several months," the chief said.

The city was assisted in the investigation by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, New York State Police, FBI Hudson Valley Safe Streets Task, Town of Deerpark Police and the Pike County Drug Task Force.
