LAKE COUNTY -- Twenty-four people were arrested following a multi-agency narcotics investigation Friday.

Officials said the sting targeted street and mid-level drug dealers after the Sheriff's office said it received several complaints.

They said a task force confirmed the existence of two organizations that were trafficking in large amounts of cocaine and other drugs.

They said they executed 11 search warrants in South Lake County. In addition to the arrests, they have warrants out for 33 more people.

During the searches, agents said they seized five pounds of marijuana, 250 grams of cocaine, $20,000 in cash, 11 all terrain vehicles, and seven other vehicles.
