Officers Friday morning told 12News HD they had a search warrant as part of a criminal investigation, but would not say the nature of the crime.

Once inside the home agents say they found drugs, although they said they would not comment on what type of drugs.

One arrest was made. A woman was taken into custody for unrelated traffic warrants.

The Office of Homeland Security will be going through seized evidence to determine if any more warrants will be issued.
