Green Bay (WFRV) – Authorities arrested at least seven in an early morning drug bust.

It happened near the intersection of Doty and Webster just before 6 am. Four police units stormed four homes to execute 6 drug warrants.

Inside police say they found cocaine, marijuana, evidence of drug use and a large amount of cash.

Community police started investigating the houses about a month and a half ago - after they got a tip from someone living in the neighborhood.

Neighbors said they suspected drug activity at the homes. Danielle Walton told Channel 5’s Hilary Golston that she bought her house about a year ago and lives right next to where the bust happened. “I’ve gone over to their house and asked them to quiet down a couple times,” Walton said. Danielle is happy authorities are working on the drug problem.

Community Policing Captain, Bill Galvin, says a drug problem in one area can easily spread if it’s not taken care of quickly. Galvin was on scene this morning and assisted with the bust.

Channel 5's Hilary Golston has the story.
