Simmons said the warrant was a result of about ten days of work from the department's drug unit.
The names of the individuals will not be released until each has been formally charged.
Simmons added that having just served a warrant only a few days ago on 9th Street in Alton, it’s great to see the department getting back into their groove after working the Bonnie Woodward case.
