SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- State and federal authorities raided three homes on the west side for drugs, cash, weapons and property Friday.

The busts were the culmination of a four-month investigation that led to 13 federal indictments.

So far, eight people have been arrested in the Buena Vista area, indicted on charges of distributing crack cocaine. One of those arrested was an 82-year-old woman who owned the three homes.

Officials said they seized drugs, cash, weapons and several vehicles.

Police are still searching for five people indicted on drug charges.

Federal agents said that during the course of their investigation they saw between 50 and 70 drug transactions a day.

Officials hope they can make the charges stick this time, as they had been to the homes before with little result.

Residents hoped this would be the start of a fight to keep crime off their streets.
