Once DTF made it inside the home, members, assisted by the Port Huron Police K-9 Unit, located and seized methamphetamine, heroin, cash and a scale.

A 28-year-old woman at the home was arrested and is now facing charges of possession with intent to distribute heroin, possession of methamphetamine, maintaining a drug house and being a habitual offender.
