Inside the home, police found two women, aged 31 and 41, and a 38-year-old man in the living room. None of them had permission to be there and were arrested for breaking and entering.

Officers saw baggies of suspected drugs and drug-related paraphernalia on a coffee table and said a search of the individuals led to the discovery of more drugs, illicit pills, and drug-related items.

A fourth suspect, a 45-year-old man, was found in the basement and taken into custody.

Police obtained a search warrant for the home and seized additional drugs, believed to be cocaine and methamphetamine, as well as homemade weapons, knives, and other drug-related items.

Three of the suspects have been charged with breaking and entering, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of property obtained by crime. The 45-year-old man was released with a court appearance set for Feb. 7, in Brandon, where he will face similar charges.
