Investigators said they found suspected heroin, marijuana, 14 types of pills and four prescription medications.They said they also found digital scales and a stolen pistol.

“The variety of suspected illegal drugs found in this house is alarming,” said Sheriff Barry Faile. “This illustrates the broad array of illicit substances which are available and the scope of the substance abuse problem in our communities. We are happy we were able to make these drugs unavailable to those who might have taken them.”

All three suspects were released from the Lancaster County Detention Center last Friday after posting bond.
