11 in custody following DEA raids at more than a dozen locations around San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO – The Drug Enforcement Administration has conducted a series of raids in San Antonio on Tuesday, resulting in 11 people being taken into custody.

Assistant Special Agent Dante Sorianello said agents raided more than a dozen locations across the city in connection to a meth trafficking scheme that has taken more than a year to investigate.

One of the locations raided was a home in the 500 block of Secluded Grove on the Far West Side.

A large amount of meth and firearms were found at the locations raided on Tuesday, according to Sorianello.

At this time the names of the people involved have not been released. Sorianello said the DEA can only release limited information at this point.

"These are ongoing investigations. Once you peel back part of the puzzle you always find new things,” Sorianello said. “But we are at one point where we have arrested the majority of these individuals who have been engaged in this conspiracy.”

He said the charges that those involved face will be released by the US Attorney’s Office.
