The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Chanute Police Department, Allen County Sheriff’s Office, Kansas Highway Patrol and ATF made several arrests on Wednesday after an 8-month, multi-agency investigation into the distribution of illegal drugs.

Nine people were arrested in Chanute as part of “Operation Spring Cleaning” for distribution of methamphetamine. During one the string of arrests, explosive devises were found at one of the locations at 804 N. Garfield in Chanute, leading to the involvement of the KHP and ATF.

Many of the arrests brought charges of meth distribution within 1,000 feet of a school. Those arrested were booked into the Neosho and Allen County jails.

There are at least three more arrests that are still pending, and the investigation is ongoing.
