The Orange County District Attorney's Office says five people are now facing charges for allegedly trafficking cocaine, crack cocaine and ecstasy in the city of Middletown, Town of Wallkill and surrounding areas.

News 12 is told over the last several months, undercover investigators purchased narcotics from dealers, and later executed search warrants at two residences.

Authorities found crack cocaine and ecstasy, digital scales, packing material, a loaded gun, and several thousands of dollars in cash.

District Attorney David Hoovler says let this be a clear warning to all others who try to commit similar crimes.
