Fentanyl, cocaine and meth seized, 8 arrested during investigation into Raleigh drug hubs: ALE

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Several people were arrested in a Raleigh drug bust, the North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) says.

The agency said it has conducted an investigation over the past several weeks into criminal activity involving the possession and sale of fentanyl and cocaine in the parking lots of convenience stores in Raleigh.

Authorities said they executed two searches at two Raleigh homes-one on East Martin Street and another on Raven Ridge Road. ALE agents seized the following:

• 12.5 ounces of fentanyl
• 2.1 ounces of powder and crack cocaine
• 5.7 ounces of methamphetamine
• 1 pound of marijuana
• $6,640
• Two firearms

ALE Director Bryan House said the investigation began due to concerns about street-level drug dealers using convenience store parking lots as hubs for illegal activities.

Arrest warrants were issued for eight individuals on over 100 felony charges:

• Prince Anthonee-India Taylor, 37, of Raleigh, N.C., charged with 43 felonies and three misdemeanors.
