Score one for the good guys in the war on drugs.
Police raided an apartment on Lee Park Avenue last night.
They found more than $2,000 in cash, more than a pound of marijuana, guns and drug making material.
Detectives say this was a two month investigation that involved numerous purchases of marijuana by undercover agents.
They arrested 31-year-old Patrick Myers, 30 year old Thomas Hughes and 19-year-old Kimberly Barlette, all of Hanover Township.
Hanover Township Police Chief Bill Howatt tells us this was a very active business.

"What`s disturbing is the short amount of time that they were in business, but the amount of calls that were received while we were on the premises."
This apartment was only 1,000 feet from a school zone.
