Authorities say they seized methamphetamine, cocaine, and other drugs, as well as guns during the breakup of a drug ring in Ventura County.

Six men arrested as a result of multi-jurisdictional investigation.

Detectives say they've broken up a ring which was importing, and selling drugs like methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl in Ventura County.

Ventura County Sheriff's investigators and Oxnard Police narcotics detectives say they first learned of the operation late last year. They say they discovered who was importing the drugs, where it was being stored, and how it was being sold.

The detectives say they intercepted a major drug shipment as it was being moved through Fillmore.

Six men were arrested. After getting search warrants, the team seized large amounts of drugs, guns, cash, and some vehicles used to transport drugs.
