Alton Police, ILEAS conduct another raid

ALTON - The Alton Police Department and Illinois Law Enforcement System (ILEAS) members were hard at work first thing Friday morning in another in a series of drug-related raids.

This time, the police and ILEAS team swarmed in on 1200 Pearl St. in Alton at 8:55 a.m. Alton Police Capt. Scott Golike said one male was in custody and facing drug-related charges.

Golike said raids of this sort are considered high risk, which brings about the reason for ILEAS to be added to the raids. ILEAS is normally brought in for any kind of serious drug search, the captain added.
