According to a statement from the Ocoee police, 19 arrest warrants were issued and currently 7 suspects are in custody.  Two additional arrests were made Thursday and 31 grams of crack cocaine was seized during a search warrant executed in Winter Garden.

Authorities said, charges include the sale and delivery of cocaine, oxycodone, and ecstacy, among other illicit drugs.

The operation will go well into Thursday evening with the expectation that all suspects will be taken into custody.
