Authorities served search warrants on the 1200 block of West 9th Street, the 1200 block of Keystone Road, and the 110 block of Pine Lane on Thursday, Jan. 25, the department said in a release.

Police said they confiscated:

A bag of cocaine
Four pounds of K2, or synthetic marijuana
$5,064 cash
Reck P6 Kal 6.35 mm pistol
A black "untraceable" 9mm pistol
A black Canik TP9DA 9mm pistol
A silver Cobra Ent .380 caliber pistol
A black Stoerger SRT-9SC 9mm pistol
A black American Tactical GSC-16 .22 caliber rifle with a suppressor

David Walls, 46, of Chester, was arrested and faces drug and firearms charges, according to police. Court records show he was released Tuesday, Jan. 30 after posting 10 percent of his $250,000 bond.

"I have to give praise to my narcotics division along with the members from the County Task Force," said Commissioner Steven Gretsky.

"To remove this type of firepower from the street is a win for my department. The investigators work continuously to arrest individuals who continue to pollute the City of Chester with narcotics."

Walls has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Feb. 7, according to court records.
