SAN DIEGO — Federal narcotics agents raided a Clairemont home Thursday, seizing a variety of illicit drugs and arresting four people, authorities reported.
The personnel served a warrant at the house in the 4200 block of Feather Avenue early Thursday morning and searched the premises, finding fentanyl powder, counterfeit fentanyl pills, liquid and powder methamphetamine, and PCP, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
Hazmat teams were called to the scene to assist in processing the fentanyl. Two men and two women were taken into custody during the operation, DEA spokeswoman Kameron Korte said. The suspects' names were not immediately available.
San Diego Police blocked off Feather Avenue in order for an investigation to take place.
