Five people were arrested Dec. 28 after detectives raided a home on Shade Fisher Road and discovered a large quantity of illegal drugs.
The sheriff’s office reported that the Vice-Narcotics Unit was investigating citizen complaints about suspicious activity around 2122 Shade Fisher road, Chadbourn.
