Hartford, Conn./WTIC Radio - Three people are under arrest in Hartford for allegedly running a drug factory out of a city residence.

Police executed a search and seizure warrant on Friday at a home on Hungerford Street.

That's where they say they found over 1,700 fentanyl sleeves, as well as a firearm, crack and powder cocaine, and nearly $15,000 cash, in addition to drug packaging materiels.

Now facing various drug charges are Luis Colon-Perez, 37, Eduardo Ortiz, 40, and Christina Evans, 27, all of Hartford.

Police say they were tipped off to the operation by witnesses who reported open-air drug sales.
