KINGSVILLE--Kingsville Police raided a home near the university and shut down what was said to be a street-level drug operation.

Acting on tips from nearby residents, officers last night raided a home on Alice street recovering small amounts of cocaine and marijuana.

They also found a gun and about $100 in cash.

"They were definitely making money," said Daniel Gonzalez, who works as an investigator for the Kingsville Police Department. "With a large amount of citizen's complaints from the neighborhood a lot of traffic coming in and out of this residence, we actually ran the search warrant last night, we found a lot of cocaine package and ready for sale. We found some marijuana ready for sale and some currency."

Four people were booked into the Kleberg County Jail on drug charges.
