Lee County deputies arrested more than 30 people after a Wednesday raid in Lehigh Acres that found large quantities of drugs.

According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, during “Operation Deep Clean,” explosive breaching was used to blow open the door of a home where three kilograms of cocaine, half a pound of heroin, five pounds of meth and some fentanyl were seized along with cash.

Three high-velocity rifles with drum magazines (capable of holding 100 bullets each) and two handguns were also found, and LCSO seized a vehicle.

At least 32 arrests were made, and 11 of the suspects face trafficking charges.

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno called the raid “just a fraction” of the operation’s success.
