Allegheny County, PA — A pair of coordinated raids in the Pittsburgh area led to multiple arrests and the seizure of guns and large quantities of drugs, authorities said.
Detectives with the Allegheny County Police Department’s Narcotics, Vice, and Intelligence Unit executed two search warrants over two days, targeting homes in McKeesport and Mt. Oliver.
On April 16, officers searched a residence in the 500 block of Sinclair Street in McKeesport. Investigators recovered an AR-15-style rifle, a handgun, cocaine, marijuana, and drug packaging materials. Two individuals, identified as 26-year-old Isaiah Lee-Williams and 19-year-old Tohrey Cook, were taken into custody and face multiple charges.
The following day, detectives executed a second warrant at a home in the 100 block of Amanda Street in Mt. Oliver. During that search, officers seized a handgun, 12 ounces of cocaine, more than three pounds of marijuana, and more than three grams of methamphetamine.
Authorities arrested 40-year-old James Phillips in connection with the second raid. He also faces multiple charges.
