JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
Jackson Police Department vice and narcotics officers arrested five people at a west Jackson house Thursday afternoon.
Police say they responded to 643 Hughes St., after complaints from neighbors of drug activity in the area. 6 men and two women were taken from the residence in handcuffs.
Officers seized crack cocaine and a small amount of powdered cocaine, and say the charges against the suspects will be enhanced because the residence is within 1,500 feet of Poindexter Elementary School.
A child was also removed from the home. Several vehicles were also towed from the scene.
