Authorities say they've shut down a drug trafficking opperation in McKeesport.

Agents seized $50,000 worth of drugs including heroin and methamphetamine, several firearms and more than $6000 in cash from the home of 42-year-old Franklin Gribschaw. He's being charged with drug crimes and endangering the welfare of a child.

State Attorney General Josh Shapiro says he's done hearing McKeesport is one of the most dangerous cities...

"I refuse to accept that as a new normal for McKeesport", he says. "I refuse to accept that this is going to be a dangerous town forever".

The arrest was a joint effort involving the AG’s office, and McKeesport and Elizabeth Police.
