Police arrest six in meth bust

VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTHI) - More than 70 officers joined forces to take down a massive drug operation in southern Vigo County.

Early Thursday morning, multiple police agencies raided two houses on Robertson Road. Police believe the people living here are major meth dealers.

Six people were arrested and taken to the Vigo County Jail.

"We utilized our explosive ordinance technicians, our robot systems and such to make sure there were no explosives in the residence," Sgt. Joe Watts of the Indiana State Police said.

The two houses were equipped with several cameras, including one in a birdhouse.

"As technology becomes more readily available to these individuals, they are utilizing technology the same as we are," Denzel Lewis of the Terre Haute Police Department said.

As some officers raided the houses, there were even officers waiting in the nearby Wabash River.

"We have eight people in boats, Indiana State Troopers behind these residences on the water in the darkness," Watts said.
