Golike said raids of this sort are considered high risk, which brings about the reason for ILEAS to be added to the raids. ILEAS is normally brought in for any kind of serious drug search, the captain added.
The Alton Police and ILEAS carried out similar raids on Jan. 19 and Jan. 20 in Alton.
Golike said he expects drug-related charges in this case to be issued next week and those will be released to the media at that time.
Two men face drug-related charges for the two separate raids conducted last week.Dan Brannan also contributed to this story.
