SWAT team storms Walden house in drug raid
Police say a three-week investigation led investigators to a large stash of drugs and money at a home in Walden Friday.
Walden police and the Orange County Sheriff?s SWAT team raided an apartment in a three-family house on Scofield Street. The SWAT team stormed every entrance of the house to ensure the suspects wouldn't escape. Police arrested Bryan Wright, who was on parole for a robbery conviction, and his brother, Chris Wright. Cops say they located drugs and packaging materials in the bathroom ceiling.
Police say almost five grams of drugs with a street value of about $15,000 was found in the raid. The Wright brothers are in Orange County Jail being held without bail. Police say they will continue monitoring drug sales in the village.
