PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — State prosecutors say they took down a large drug trafficking ring connected to Philadelphia, Delaware and Montgomery counties.

Authorities say last week, agents executed 25 search warrants on homes, cars and other personal property among six suspects.

The searches netted 11 guns, 31 pounds of meth, 1,500 doses of heroin and fentanyl, and more than $152,000 in cash.

Six people — ringleader Luis Llamas, Zahid Igbal, Lolyta Lee, Kenneth Simon, Tiffany Simon and Juwan Woods — have been charged, ranging from drug trafficking and corrupt organization offenses.

Police are still searching for two others, Hugo Hyland and Richard Vega.
