LORAIN — Drugs with a street value in the hundreds of thousands of dollars were seized during a bust Thursday evening in Lorain. Officers also seized nine vehicles, four guns and a large amount of cash.

Lorain police Lt. Edward Super said the Lorain Police Department assisted on an investigation initiated by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office. He said the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office learned that individuals were selling a kilo of cocaine for $36,000 at an address on West 17th Street.

According to Super, the home, 1426 W. 17th St., was a known drug house and supposed chop shop police had been watching. The tip prompted officers to act immediately, however.

Officers initially arrested four individuals and later arrested a fifth man who held the lease of the property.

Arrested were: Luis Robledo, 19, of Lorain; Ruben Deleone, 24, of Lorain; Luis Morales, 27, of Lorain; and Lucas Morales and Y. Adorno, according to Super.

Super said Adorno was arrested for trafficking in cocaine, while Robledo, Deleone and Luis Morales were arrested for conspiracy to traffic cocaine. He said Lucas Morales was arrested for drug abuse and having weapons under disability.

Super said officers believed the individuals were also selling stolen property, as they were working on vehicles that may be stolen in a garage on the property.

Super said that three vehicles being worked on in the garage were initially seized. Officers later secured a search warrant for the property, so, in addition to the initial $36,000 kilo of cocaine and three vehicles, they seized six more cars, $26,000 in cash, three handguns, a shot gun and another 6 ounces of cocaine.
